S&DR200 - Ghost Train

Darlington and Stockton

About

Two major outdoor events inspired by the Stockton and Darlington Railway story. The first features a procession through Darlington, showcasing large-scale art installations representing pivotal modern inventions. The following week, in Stockton town centre, a spectacular theatrical reimagining will commemorate the historic arrival of Locomotion No. 1 into Stockton harbour in 1825, marking the birth of the modern railway. Co-produced by Avanti Display and Walk the Plank, from a creative concept developed by Andy Plant, Bill Palmer, Bryan Tweddle and Chris Squire.
