Kids can enjoy a heritage train ride for just £1 at Stephenson Steam Railway this August.
The North Tyneside museum will be offering £1 tickets for children aged 5–15 every Thursday and Sunday in August, with under 5s riding for free.
Geoff Woodward, Museum Manager at Stephenson Steam Railway, said, “We’re excited to welcome families to the museum for a fantastic day out during the summer holidays. Our £1 children’s train tickets make it more affordable than ever to enjoy a day out packed with history, nostalgia and fun.”

On Thursdays during August, children can also enjoy a free craft activity as part of North East Museums’ ongoing partnership with Tyne and Wear Metro. These free family activities are included in the Ways to Play family programme, which runs across the region.
The museum has also recently opened its new Woodland Walk area, which is free to enter. The area includes winding paths, natural play opportunities, and plenty of space to explore.
The museum, also free to enter, is home to a fascinating collection of engines and artefacts. Visitors can also meet the dedicated volunteers of the North Tyneside Steam Railway Association, who keep the railway running.
The popular, volunteer-run Waggonway Tearoom is open on selected days, making it a great full-day experience for all ages.
