Shunter Sunday

Are you prepared to journey back to the vibrant 1980s, when British Rail blue defined the railway scene and diesel power reigned supreme? If so, don’t miss out on our much-anticipated Shunter Sunday! 🎉

Following the success of last year's event, our two BR blue shunters—03078 and 08915—are stepping into the limelight once more! 🛤️✨ Usually busy with shunting duties and standby work for the steam fleet, these locomotives now have the spotlight to showcase their power and performance.

Throughout the day, they will be hauling a delightful mix of passenger and freight services, recreating the captivating sights and sounds of yesteryears. Expect thrilling double-headed action, top-and-tail formations, and a chance to rack up some rare mileage! 🚆👀

Whether you were with us last year or are eager to embark on a new adventure, this is a day filled with excitement and nostalgia that you won't want to miss!
