About your visit
Take a four mile return trip following the route of the coal trains from the collieries to the River Tyne behind a vintage diesel locomotive in our 1950s passenger carriages.
After your train ride, visit our museum which is home to Killingworth Billy, the world's third oldest surviving steam locomotive. The recently installed displays and information panels tell the story of railway pioneers George and Robert Stephenson who spent almost 20 years on North Tyneside.
On your way out, don't forget to drop into the shop for that all-important souvenir of your visit.
Please note that the operation of heritage train rides is subject to the availability of volunteers.
