Sit back, relax, and enjoy a nostalgic journey through the beautiful Derbyshire countryside behind British Rail Class 44004 ‘Great Gable’ & Class 45108 which will operate service trains in ‘Top & Tail’ formation.
Hop off the train at Swanwick Junction and explore our heritage site, packed with things to see and do for all ages.
