RAILWAY 200 CELEBRATION

THERE IS NO NEED TO PRE-BOOK FOR THIS EVENT.

Two hundred years ago on September 27th 1825 history was made when the first passenger carrying train ran between Stockton and Darlington and marked the birth of todays modern railway. It was the world’s first public railway to use steam locomotives, George Stephenson's Locomotion No 1 carried more than 400 people and drew crowds of up to 40,000 people.

This momentous event is being celebrated both nationally and wider. We too at Yeovil Railway Centre are marking the occasion with two days of celebration on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September.

We will have various attritions across the weekend and subject to availability all 4 of our current locomotives.
