- If you have had contact with anyone infected with Covid-19 or feel unwell, please do not visit Darlington Locomotive Works
- If you need to cancel your booking, please call the office on 01325 460163 so that the slot can be made available for other visitors
- Until the Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted we will not be able to admit speculative visits and entry via the Head of Steam museum will not be possible.
If you are unable to book a slot on your preferred date or the time, please do not be disheartened as we are attempting to allocate access to Works as fairly as possible for all visitors. Please also remember that booking slots are non-transferable, so think carefully before choosing the date and time of your visit.
