Whistle Up celebrating 200 years of Railways

Published: 01/01/2025

As part of Railway 200 celebrations a 'Whistle Up' at noon on 1 January 2025 was arranged by Heritage Railway Association. Many Heritage Railways/Centres joined in with some main line train operators and overseas railways. Three diesels and one steam locomotives were in use. The steam only using compressed air! It seems that some of our hardy visitors were making a retreat from the (very) inclement weather! We ran brakevan shuttles before and after noon.
