**The** **Great Central Railway** is the UK's only double track, main line heritage railway. It’s the only place in the world where full size steam engines can be seen passing each other - just as it was when steam ruled the rails.

Trains run every weekend of the year, bank holidays and selected week days through the summer. In addition, First Class Restaurant Car Services provide five-course meals whilst travelling between Loughborough and Leicester. Childhood dreams can come true with a Drive a Locomotive Experience when you can take the regulator on a mighty steam locomotive or notch up on a powerful diesel. We also run many special events, including **Steam Galas, Paw Patrol, Bonfire Night, 1940s Wartime Weekend **and **Santa Specials.**

Joining our team of paid and volunteer staff, you will be helping to preserve the railway for future generations.
