Legends of Steam III

Climb aboard for the first large scale steam event of the year. This is your chance to ride up and down the line behind a strong line-up of express steam locomotives.

This is the third Legends of Steam event to take place at ELR.

We are delighted to announce that we will be welcoming Battle of Britain 34070 ‘Manston’ to the ELR for the very first time!

‘Manston’ is joining us with many thanks to the Swanage Railway and Southern Locomotives Ltd – It will be joined at the event by our own 34092 ‘City of Wells’ subject to completion of Winter maintenance, where we plan to double head the pair of Bulleid Pacifics in true S&D style for a couple of trips over the event

More information on the lineup, timetable and more will be announced nearer the time, so watch this space.
