Five thousand people watched the All Change spectacular in County Durham, which include an LNER Azuma flying through the night sky.

The drone show at Kynren Site in Bishop Auckland also featured Locomotion No.1 as well as projection mapping and original music.

Four hundred drones were part of the show and closed the show by forming the SDR200 Logo.

“With the launch of S&DR200, we were thrilled to celebrate the transformative power of railways and their role in shaping our society. We’re delighted to be supporting S&DR200 throughout 2025, and the event at Kynren was an unforgettable journey through time, honouring the past while looking forward to the future of rail travel.”
