Passenger trains return to Ruddington - 6th and 7th September
It’s a moment four years in the making! For the first time since the pandemic passengers will be able to board trains at the Great Central Railwy (Nottingham)’s Ruddington site and travel towards the main line.
After repairs, maintenance and volunteer training, a Class 08 locomotive and carriages will run an hourly shuttle from the platform at Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre to 50 Steps Bridge close to Asher Lane and back, a journey of around a mile. ’50 Steps’ is the site of the junction where trains will one day join the Great Central Main Line and run towards Loughborough.
The trains will run on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th of September as part of the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre Road, Rail and Ale festival which will showcase local real ales, vintage busses and now vintage locomotives too.
