Entry to the centre on this day is FREE.

To enhance the visitor attraction  the Trust with the help of the Heritage Centre is to offer a "cab 71000" experience.

This is a rare opportunity to be able to access the footplate of the unique British Railways steam locomotive 8P 71000 Duke of Gloucester

 71000 Support crew will be on hand to assist with any questions/queries

There will  also be an oppportunity to purchase  71000 memorabilia items as a souvenir of your experience.

Access to the footplate on this day will be FREE but the Trust hopes that donations towards the next heavy overhaul will be made.

Please note that as the Trust is a registered charity all donations (from taxpayers) qualify for gift aid.

This means that for every pound donated, the Trust can claim back a further 0.20p .

We look forward to seeing you.
