Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum
This unique award-winning working museum vividly recreates how the people of the North of England lived and worked in the early eighteen hundreds and nineteen hundreds. The Beamish tramway fulfils a dual function - it provides a transport system and also gives visitors a period tramride experience.
Here visitors can ride in replica 1825 carriages behind a full-scale working replica of "Locomotion No.1" built by George Stephenson in 1825. The original Locomotion No.1 headed the first public, passenger-carrying, steam train in the world - on the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1825.

Bluebell Railway

steam locomotives, coaches and goods stock, signalling systems, stations and operating practices.
