In the station yard at Stephenson Steam Railway, you can see a large variety of wagons and rail vehicles that were once a common sight on the railways of Tyneside. Inside the museum, explore a range of steam, diesel and electric locomotives that each have a fascinating story to tell. Visit the cab of Clio or try your hand at driving a steam engine on our simulator. Learn about George and Robert Stephenson and their influence on the development of the steam locomotive through animations and artefacts from the time.

Don’t forget, if you are looking for help with funding the cost of your trip, you can apply for a bursary!
