Visit Locomotion in Shildon
Walk among locomotives and rolling stock in Shildon, a town built into the story of the railways. Locomotion gives families the rare chance to compare machines at full scale rather than through diagrams or small models. The collection connects engineering with the people, journeys and industries that railways transformed. Looking at how designs changed over time turns a line of vehicles into a visible history of problem-solving. General admission is free. Check current opening, access and event information before travelling, as activities and displays may vary. Add this to your list and find the locomotive that makes everyone stop and look up.
