A GROUP has been set up to establish Darlington as the ultimate destination for railway tourism by 2025 the 200th anniversary of the Stockton and Darlington Railway.
The task of preserving and promoting the towns railway heritage has been handed to The Rail Heritage Inquiry Group, which will draw up a masterplan for the project and identify funding sources.
Ideas include organising coach trips to visit the towns railway heritage, creating a direct rail link to the Head of Steam Museum and putting more signs up around the town and on the A1 highlighting Darlingtons importance in the history of the railways.
