⚙️ Heritage Diesels in Action
Experience the unique sounds and smells of our diesel fleet. These locomotives are the backbone of our industrial history, and today they take centre stage, hauling our passenger coaches up the 1-mile line to Middleton Park.
🔧 Behind the Scenes: The Engine House
Your ticket grants you full access to our Engine House Museum. Discover the history of the Leeds locomotive building industry—where many of these very engines were designed and constructed—and explore our collection of rare industrial diesel shunters.
