What’s on

Climb aboard and experience the railways in small scale on our fantastic miniature railway ride.

Experience the thrill of riding on the footplate of the world’s fastest steam locomotive in our exhilarating simulator ride.

This powerful, aerodynamic masterpiece rocketed to 126mph in 1938, a steam speed record that was never surpassed.

This is the original Rocket—George and Robert Stephenson's world-changing locomotive which kick-started a golden era of innovation.

Named after its legendary designer, this 'flying banana' is a beautifully preserved example of the High Speed Train which blazed a trail in 1976.

Take a look at our first-generation 1960s bullet train, which led a revolution in high-speed train travel.

Amp up the G-force and conquer gravity in our outdoor play area.

Budding engineers and train drivers can explore and experiment in our play area for under-6s.

Arrive in style by taking our quick, convenient road train between the museum and the Minster.
