The Bowes Railway is situated at the heart of the North East, located on the hills between Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and Durham. We are a friendly group who have preserved a now unique industrial railway, with a workshop complex, two rope inclines and steam hauled brake van rides which together provide an experience of a typical colliery railway of around 1950.
What visitors to the railway see today is a result of all the time and effort that a small, but dedicated band of volunteers have put in over many years.
