Make them smile with a special train running day at Barrow Hill Roundhouse, with dates throughout the year.

Train running

Join one of this year’s special train running days at Barrow Hill Roundhouse in November and December. Journey up the Springwell branch line on brake vans, top and tailed by two Roundhouse locomotives.

Entry includes access to the Roundhouse Museum and exhibitions, and turntable and signal box demonstrations.

Explore Barrow Hill Roundhouse

Learn and play during your visit to Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre. Did you know the centre houses one of the largest collections of diesel, electric and, of course, steam locomotives in the country?

Visit every weekend between March and December (except for special event days, which have different ticket options – for example, the Rail Ale Festival, which takes place each May.)

See the ever-changing lineup in the yard from a different perspective. Enjoy a turntable demonstration or try your hand at the signal box.

This event is organised by Barrow Hill Roundhouse.
