We have a shorter post this week – progress on projects previously reported continuing apace, but which I haven’t had a chance to photograph! We start with two more announcements for the steam fair. Our principle haulage contractor for narrow gauge railway equipment recently informed us they were withdrawing from haulage altogether, which left us in something of a spot. Matt has worked hard to not only secure the haulage for this event, but also to ensure that future events will be provided for, and other railways and events will also benefit – an example of how much goes on behind the scenes in arranging any event, no matter how large or small.
Great North Steam Fair 2020
It is good to be able to announce two more visiting locomotives for the event in three weeks. Both have visited us before, and make a very welcome return for the steam fair this year.

The current national situation regarding coronavirus is inevitably at the forefront of everyone’s minds at the moment, and the situation at Beamish is being monitored continuously.
The museum is following all Government and public health guidance and, as such, is following the current advice to remain open as usual.
Government information on hygiene and handwashing is being shared and there are handwashing facilities available across the museum. The health and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and volunteers is, as always, our priority. We are continuing to monitor the guidance and will keep everyone informed of any updates. Please see Beamish’s social media pages (Facebook and Twitter) for latest information and news.
