Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Railway Preservation Society of Ireland

Ireland's only remaining mainline steam engineering depot.
Whitehead Excursion Station is where all the locomotives and carriages in the RPSI's Northern Ireland collection are stored. It is where all locomotive maintenance and overhaul is carried out. The station consists of a station building (housing a shop open on our Summer Steam days), a platform, a short running line for public demonstrations and to allow the shunting of our stock. Beyond the station are the sheds housing the engineering equipment and stores necessary to maintain Irelands mainline steam train fleet.
