The Railway 200's Inspiration exhibition train will be on display at Mid-Norfolk Railway's (MNR) Dereham station on May 19 and 20.

From there, it will travel on to Wymondham station for the day on May 21.

The interactive exhibition marks 200 years of the modern railway and has already welcomed more than 70,000 visitors during its 60-stop tour of Britain.

Kellie Woodard, business manager at MNR, said: "We are so excited to be hosting the Railway 200 Inspiration exhibition train in May.

"Whilst we are a heritage railway that loves to celebrate history, we are also keen to explore the future – whether in the form of careers, rolling stock or even engineering techniques.

"We cannot wait to bring this opportunity to our community at both ends of our line and hope to inspire the future generation of railway workers and enthusiasts."

Co-curated with the National Railway Museum, the exhibition explores the global impact of railways through rare artefacts, stories and hands-on engineering challenges.

Visitors are also given insights into a variety of careers in the rail industry.

A previous stop in Norwich saw the train fully booked with more than 2,500 visitors.

Emma Roberts, programme manager for Railway 200, said: "Railways are one of history’s most important inventions and inside this train you can explore the story of rail in a fun and family-friendly environment.

"Inspiration has already travelled thousands of miles across Britain, from Scotland to Southampton, and we are hugely excited to welcome locals aboard at the wonderful Mid-Norfolk Railway.

"Inspiration’s tour is coming to an end in June and this could be your last opportunity to see it – don’t miss out."

The train was supported by a £250,000 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Porterbrook funded its eye-catching livery.
