There will be displays at both Butterley and Swanwick Junction on April 6 and 7 including a Spot The Tug trail and activity area, as the railway celebrates 35 years since Tugs was first broadcast.

This will be a great opportunity to see items that aren’t usually on display to the public, even though there is a permanent Tugs exhibition on site.

Midland Railway – Butterley is located just off the A38, on the outskirts of Ripley. For further details or to book tickets, go to www.midlandrailway-butterley.co.uk or call 01773 570140.
