The Sir Berkeley engine, which is based at the railway’s station in Moor Road, Hunslet, will be in action alongside two engines, Bellerophon and Lord Mayor, on loan from the Vintage Carriages Trust.

It will be the first time that the engines have appeared on one site in 40 years. Steam services will run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Visit middletonrailway.org.uk.
