Steam and diesel enthusiasts will be in heaven and families can find fun too at Bo’ness and Kinneill Railway Station in the last few days of 2023.

The Winter Diesel Day takes place on Friday, December 29, and features members of the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS) Diesel Group fleet hauling trains throughout the day.

For those in the know the event will star Class 37 number 37403 “Isle of Mull” and Class 27 number 27001, with a special guest appearance from Class 70 courtesy of Colas Rail, while number 26038 will be on display in the diesel shed as it goes through its final stages of its overhaul.
