Get out the glad rags, dust off the straw boater and get those dancing shoes ready - it's Jazz time! Join our restored 1960s train at Belfast Central, hauled by our steam locomotive. Relax as we leave the city behind and enjoy the sounds of New Orleans jazz when we call at stations which could be anywhere on the Northern Ireland railway network.

On Saturday 1st October 2022 Whitehead Railway Museum will be holding a birthday party for the most recent arrival at Whitehead - A 120-year old Great Southern and Western Railway carriage that has been left in a shed in Mullingar for the past 20 years. It arrived at Whitehead a few weeks ago and we invite the public to come and see it in 'as found' condition before restoration commences. We will have steam train rides up and down the platform using Great Northern Railway steam loco No131, and the Jazzmeisters Jazz Trio from Bangor will be playing.
