In addition to the exhibition in the museum, we are celebrating NS800 by hosting a series of talks in the John Storey room on Sundays in June. Today's talk was delivered by long-serving volunteer Bob Stapley, the secretary of the North Tyneside Steam Railway Association. Bob's talk, on the history of passenger trains in North Shields, provided an insightful survey of the development of passenger railways and stations in the area, from the embryonic Newcastle and North Shields Railway right up to the roll-out of the Tyne and Wear Metro.
The upcoming NS800 talks in the John Storey room are taking place as follows:
Sunday 8th June at 1400
Ed Orwin: 'Rails to Tyne Commission Quay'
Sunday 22nd June at 1400
David Fraser: 'N.E.R. Tyneside Electrics - A Pictorial Survey'
