Celebrating our Railway Heritage Connections
The Ashley and Newey office is based in Darlington, County Durham. The town is famous for the Stockton to Darlington Railway - the first public railway to use steam locomotives in 1825.
In the run-up to the 200-year anniversary of the railway, a new Head of Steam Visitor Centre is due to open in the town. To commemorate this and the region’s railway heritage, Ashley was excited to get back in the driving seat. He’s been the driving force behind a brand new tour for 2024 - Time Travellers Retreat and Journeys of the North.
