GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF TANFIELD RAILWAY

The guiding principles of the Tanfield Railway are crystallised around 3 initial points linked to what the railway aims for, and agreed by the Tanfield Railway Company and Tanfield Railway Trust in 2010.

These principles are:

• Show what would have been seen in the period 1920 – 1950 (this would be predominantly steam).
• Focus on industrial and minor railways.
• A North East of England focus with items used or built in the North East.
