Vintage Trains is to re-introduce public access to Tyseley Locomotive Works with a number of guided tours in 2023 as part of the pilot scheme.

Tours of the original 1908-built depot will be part of the tour as well as a tour of the locomotives and rolling stock. A tour of the engineering workshop will not be possible during the tours.

Locomotives on view inside the depot will change, but will be drawn from the Vintage Trains pool of 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, 7029 Clun Castle, 4965 Rood Ashton Hall, 5593 Kolhapur, 7752, D1755, 37240, 13029 and Class 20s.

Whilst there wont be any footplate access, photography inside the depot will be permitted.

5 tours will take place in 2023, taking place on the 27th May, 10th June, 8th July, 5th August and 2nd September respectively.

Booking is set to go live in February, with tickets costing £10 for adults, and £5 for children aged between 10 and 15. Tickets can be booked through the Vintage Trains website.
