The Railway 200 train ‘Inspiration’ has made its debut at the Severn Valley Railway and has been spending some time in Birmingham.

Following a few other stops in London and Kent, it will stop on its tour at the Bluebell Railway in Sussex at the end of the month, following its launch on the 26th June.

The train will visit the railway from the 23rd to the 29th of July, showing off its interactive exhibits celebrating 200 years of the railways and featuring STEM activities and a career section.

Further information on the visiting Inspiration and the railway’s summer events can be found on their website.

“We’re very excited to be hosting Inspiration at the start of the school holidays. While it is with us, it will form the centrepiece of our Railway 200 exhibition. We’re running a special intensive train service to make it easy for visitors to see Inspiration.”

“Inspiration is just one of the attractions at our Railway 200 celebration, which includes the chance
to drive a driver training simulator and try your hand at ‘Eggsperiment’ – a fabulous activity on loan from the London Transport Museum and much more.

Ruth Rowatt, Marketing and Communications Manager at the Bluebell Railway
