It's a busy old world. Find out what's going on at the world's oldest Railway Institute.
On 28th November 2020 the Institute turned 187 years old, and though the building is closed, so we were unable to celebrate together in the hall, a number of very special friends, singers and musicians chipped in together to provide the soundtrack to a special and unique tribute. If you weren't one of the 2,200 people that dropped in to the party on the night you can still enjoy it now.
