Winter Warmers

Get wrapped up and join us for a train ride in between Christmas and New Year! 

Looking for something fun to do, that isn’t sales shopping between Christmas and New Year? Plan a trip to Stephenson Steam Railway and enjoy a relaxing heritage train ride on our 4 mile historic urban line.

Train departure times: 

11.30am, 12.30pm, 2pm and 3pm

Pre-booking recommended.

After your train ride, enjoy a visit to our museum and explore our new displays detailing the remarkable lives of railway pioneers George and Robert Stephenson on Tyneside. Don't forget to say hello to Billy, the world's third oldest surviving steam locomotive!

We have a new under 5s area, designed for our youngest train enthusiasts. Kids can step into the role of a train guard, practicing signals, waving flags, and even seeing their reflection as they mimic the guards on the wall.
