Heaton 150

This September, we're opening the gates to one of Britain's oldest working depots - Heaton TrainCare Centre - for a special event 150 years in the making.

To mark this incredible milestone, and as part of the Railway 200 national celebrations, Heaton will come to life with a weekend full of heritage, hands-on experiences, and behind-the-scenes access you won't find anywhere else.

Whether you're a lifelong train enthusiast, a curious visitor, or just looking for a brilliant family day out, there's something for everyone. Come and explore how the past, present and future of rail all meet at one of the oldest train care centres in the country.

All profits will be going to local charities chosen by the TrainCare Centre and Northern's charity partner, MNDA (Motor Neurone Disease Association).
