Railway 200 – New Year whistle event

5 November 2024

The New Year Whistle Off event is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make history and be part of something special

 

The Whistle-Off will take place at noon on New Year’s Day and will trigger a year of celebrations that will culminate with the anniversary on 27th September, when in 1825, the Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR) carried its first passengers.

Although the first public railway to use steam locomotives took place in one location, celebrations will be held across the UK throughout the year, with events at railway sites everywhere.

There will also be a Railway 200 sale in early 2025, offering heavily discounted train travel for great days out, as announced this month by the Secretary of State for Transport.
