Nexus and Tyne and Wear Museums team up to celebrate the 175th anniversary of suburban railways on Tyneside

摘要

A steam train display marked the 175th anniversary of the Metro line - amongst the oldest in the world. June 2014 marks 175 years since the opening of a line which still forms part of the modern day Tyne and Wear Metro system - the Newcastle and North Shields Railway. To celebrate the occasion on June 1, the Stephenson Railway Museum ran special steam trains from platforms at Percy Main as well as from the main museum, linking in with timetabled Metro services.
