Steam Gala 2024 Timetable released

With Steam Gala 2024 taking place in just over two weeks, the East Somerset Railway is excited to release our timetable for both days!

This years Steam Gala marks 50 years since the East Somerset Railway re-opened to passengers as a heritage railway under the watchful eye of wildlife artist and railway enthusiast David Shepherd. 

To celebrate this momentous milestone, Steam Gala 2024 will be the first time the public can visit David Shepherd's model railway - a section of which has been newly installed at Cranmore Station. 

The East Somerset Railway will also be welcoming visiting locomotive - GWR Lady of Legend who will take centre stage alongside No. 4116 and No. 46447.

Lady Nan will also be on hand doing Driver for a Tenner - a cracking opportunity to have ago on a steam engine under the watchful guide of the East Somerset Railway's volunteers.
