This event is a chance to see and ride behind special guest engines and our home-fleet locomotives. Joining national celebrations as part of Railway 200, this ‘gala of firsts’ showcases a variety of railway scenes from yesterday, demonstrating how the railway would have operated in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s.
Ontdek al onze erfgoedstations langs de 10-mijlslijn, bekijk enkele van onze locomotieven van dichtbij, kom meer te weten over onze restauratieprojecten en geniet van rondleidingen en verschillende tentoonstellingen.
On the day expect to see a variety of different passenger trains, including short mixed shuttle trains, and an 8 carriage non-stop run from Alresford to Alton hauled by Canadian Pacific, recreating the scene of a diverted express service from Bournemouth to Waterloo ‘Over the Alps’ such as the Bournemouth Belle during the electrification works in the mid 1960’s.
