Great Central Railway

The Great Central Railway is Britain's only double track main line steam railway. Train rides are available every weekend and Bank Holiday throughout the year and daily in May through to September.

Loughborough is a great station to visit because of its rich history. It has appeared in several films and Sir Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman are two actors who have visited. As the operational headquarters of today’s GCR, you'll often see trains waiting there next turn of duty. During a gala the action is non-stop with trains arriving and departing all the time.
