About Locomotion

This nicely interactive experience brings the last 200 years of rail fully to life in one's mind, assisted in no small part by the atmosphere of one of the world's oldest railway towns, transporting passengers since 1825! The exhibits and facilities are pleasingly modern however, with an ever changing range of high class exhibits and galleries related to rail.

An adventure playground helps the kids blow off steam and get in some imagination play inspired by the surrounding grandeur. There's also a Tots and Trains session held in the Stobart Room from 10:30 to 12:00 every weekday during term time, where under 6s can enjoy games, jigsaws and dress up facilities. This is free too!
