This event is a chance to see and ride behind special guest engines and our home-fleet locomotives. Joining national celebrations as part of Railway 200, this ‘gala of firsts’ showcases a variety of railway scenes from yesterday, demonstrating how the railway would have operated in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s.

Explore all of our heritage stations along the 10 mile line, get up close to some of our locomotives, find out more about our restoration projects and enjoy guided tours and various exhibits.

On the day expect to see a variety of different passenger trains, including short mixed shuttle trains, and an 8 carriage non-stop run from Alresford to Alton hauled by Canadian Pacific, recreating the scene of a diverted express service from Bournemouth to Waterloo ‘Over the Alps’ such as the Bournemouth Belle during the electrification works in the mid 1960’s.
