A wonderful opportunity to ride behind Borrows No.48, 'The King'.
The 119 year old locomotive is one of only three survivors from the Borrows company, based in St Helens, Lancashire and the only operational locomotive of this type.
Due to his diminutive size, he doesn't normally appear on standard passenger services at Riversway, but does feature in the gala events, working in tandem with other locomotives. However, for this event, the locomotive will be working by itself, hauling a shorter two carriage train for five return trips during the day, offering a rare opportunity to ride behind this exceptional locomotive.
Sorry, this event has passed
