2025 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of the modern railways, with the opening of the Stockton to Darlington railway in 1825. All year we are celebrating the past, present and future of rail with Rail 200. Meanwhile, German railways celebrate their 190th anniversary. The Bavarian Ludwig Railway opened in 1835 between Nuremberg and Fürth. The steam locomotives used on this Bavarian line were designed by George Stephenson, the renowned British engineer and "Father of Railways".
Our first Rail 200 celebrates this double anniversary on Saturday 29th March from 10.30am to 1pm with a Friends of Bishopstone Station Community Food Project a special event. 'All Abroad! Bahn & Brezn', with German flavours and virtual rail travel to Germany. Featuring food prep demonstrations and tastings, German brunch food and drink and a unique immersive multimedia, multi-sensory experience, including a virtual reality headset tour of train journeys with German destinations.
