Rail 200 is the nationwide celebration marking 200 years since the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825.

Join us on the Shieldhall with displays and entertainment to mark the occasion! On our journey we will pass the cruise ships Iona, MSC Virtuosa, Sky Princess and Ventura in berth, and on our return see a number of the ships depart - always the chance to sound our whistle and play the ‘Shieldhall Organ’!
