Inspiration train exhibition visiting Newquay
Interactive railway exhibits on display at the station
The "Inspiration" train exhibition, part of the Railway 200 programme, arrived at Newquay railway station on Easter Monday.
This travelling exhibition, co-curated with the National Railway Museum, will remain at the station until 11th April, offering visitors an engaging experience exploring the impact of railways on modern society.
It features rare artefacts, interactive displays, and engineering challenges.
More than 80,000 people have already visited during the year-long, 60-stop tour of Britain.
With hands-on activities tailored for families and young individuals, it also promotes career opportunities in the railway sector.
Visitors have described the experience as "brilliant," "fascinating," and "well curated," according to previous attendees.
The exhibition will be hosted by Great Western Railway in Newquay, marking its first stop in Cornwall.
The train will continue its UK tour until June 2026, celebrating 200 years since the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, considered the start of the modern railway era.
Railway 200 organisers aim to not only showcase the railway's history but also inspire future generations to explore careers within the industry.
