2022 Running Days

The Rio Grande polished and ready to welcome passengers to our 2022 open days
The train approaching the tunnel, through the area where trees were felled by the winter storms
The rhododendrons were just coming into flower on our May open day
Teesdale’s own ‘bluebell railway’
A good display of flowers on the engine shed curve on our May open day
The Rio’s driver waits for the guard to brief passengers before setting off
Train rides and a drink from the Barista Sisters’ coffee wagon – the recipe for a fun afternoon out!
The rhododendrons were still putting on a good display for our June open day
While most visitors arrive by car, others come by bike or on foot. On our June open day some arrived by miniature steam traction engine!
…and on our July open day one visitor came in his 1940s Jeep!
For our August open day we were joined by some splendid looking vintage cars. What will September bring?!
