- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Sep, 2025 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 20 Sep, 2025 at 11:45 pm
- **Event Description**: S&DR200 has commissioned Avanti Display and Walk the Plank will coproduce, with artists Andy Plant, Bryan Tweddle and Chris Squire with two celebratory events to commemorate this remarkable feat of innovation and engineering.

On Saturday 20 September, prepare to be amazed as Ghost Train: The Departures arrives in the town centre with free, interactive performances and a spectacular evening parade to Hopetown Darlington. 

The event will begin with a theatrical reimagining of Locomotion No. 1, with moving cogs and wheels, installed on a large plinth in the Market Square. Throughout the afternoon six large-scale structures - each mounted on customised cars - will bring to life, through performance, music, sound and feats of engineering, some of the most significant inventions of the last 200 years. 

In the early evening, the Locomotion No. 1 will steam to life - fuelled by artistic 'coal of the future' made by 900 primary school children from across the town. The engine will then lead each of the sculptures on a magical procession of lights and music, through North Lodge Park and up to Hopetown Darlington. 

Once the parade arrives at Hopetown Darlington, there will be a host of free, Night at the Museum activities for all the family. Hopetown will stay open late, with another chance to see the amazing artistic carriages up close.
