Christmas Discover Days at Didcot Railway Centre
Travel back in time to the golden age of the Great Western Railway and savour the sights, sounds and smells of steam as you explore this 21-acre living museum with trains dating from Victorian times to the 1960s.
Explore this 21-acre living museum and unearth almost two centuries of railway history. Trains will not be running, meaning there's the chance to get up close and see them at close quarters. Pick up our colourful Centre Guide and stroll through the original 1932 Engine Shed and see magnificent preserved locomotives – find 5900 Hinderton Hall, climb onto the footplate and listen to Archie, the driver, and Stan, the fireman, prepare their loco! Listen out for the sounds of a working engine shed and see if you can hear Stan fetch his supplies from Jonah, the storeman.
