Only facilities we’ve confirmed are listed — anything missing here we simply haven’t checked, rather than know to be absent.
Locomotion in Shildon is a railway museum home to a fine collection of locomotives and rolling stock to explore.
Entry is free and it's largely indoors, so a great rainy-day plan for train-mad kids. Check opening times and any event details with the museum before you go.
