Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station Guided Tour

Join Mark Smith, Chair of the North Staffs Rail Study Group, for a guided walking tour of the history of the North Staffordshire Railway's headquarters station, covering key features of the public areas. These include Winton Square, the hotel and main front, the scene from the north and south ends of the platforms, and the WW1 memorial arch. Attendees will be able to compare historic views of Stoke-on-Trent Railway Station with the Grade 2 listed building that remains today.

The tours involve standing and walking throughout, with steps in the subway, and are not suitable for children under 12. Places are free but admission is by ticket only as numbers are limited.

These tours are offered to celebrate national Heritage Open Days, Railway 200 and the City of Stoke-on-Trent Centenary, the city being effectively named after its principal railway station.

A Tracks Through Time exhibition will be taking place at the Station at the same time as the station tours. The exhibition, featuring real stories of women, disabled workers, and diverse heritage staff, past and present in shaping the railway over the last 200 years, is open on a drop in basis and tour attendees are welcome to visit the exhibition before or after the tour.

This event is supported by North Staffordshire Community Rail Partnership and Avanti West Coast.
