Railway 200 will be a year-long nationwide partnership-led campaign to celebrate 200 years of the modern railway and inspire a new generation of young pioneering talent to choose a career in rail. It invites community, rail and other groups to get involved.
The year kicks-off with an evocative ‘Whistle-Up’ of vintage locomotives at 12 noon on 1 January. Bachmann Europe are proud to be a tiny part of this event, joining in with a few whistles of our own!
Starting in January 2025, a wide variety of activities and events are being planned to celebrate rail’s remarkable past, its role today, and its importance to a sustainable future.
Born in Britain, rail quickly spread across the globe.
During 2025, Railway 200 will showcase how the railway shaped and continues to shape national life.
The spirit of invention and innovation of rail’s early pioneers lives on, as today’s railway becomes simpler and better for all, rising to new challenges in a changing world. Rail has transformed how life is lived here and abroad: crossing continents, connecting cities and communities, and improving the lives and livelihoods of billions.
