Victorian Gala to bring heritage steam engines back together in Leeds

Three Victorian steam engines will be in full flow as part of a gala at Middleton Railway this weekend.

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.
