The Nene Valley Railway is one of the UK's leading heritage railways, stretching through the beautiful Nene Valley countryside between Peterborough and Yarwell Junction.

Travel Behind the Magnificent King Edward I

Join us for a truly special occasion as the iconic GWR Class 6024 King Edward I makes its first-ever visit to the Nene Valley Railway.

Built in 1930, King Edward I was one of the prestigious Great Western Railway 6000 Class express locomotives, hauling some of Britain's most important passenger services until its retirement in 1962. Following preservation and an extensive overhaul, this magnificent locomotive has returned to steam and is once again ready to showcase the power and elegance of Great Western Railway engineering.

Thanks to the Royal Scot Locomotive & General Trust, visitors will have the rare opportunity to travel behind this legendary locomotive as it hauls heritage passenger services throughout the weekend.
