The Greatest Gathering

The Greatest Gathering was a special event held on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd of August 2025 at Alstom's Derby Litchurch Lane factory which showcased a variety of trains from the past. The event was held to commemorate 200 years of the railway.

Notable famous trains which appeared include Locomotion No.1, the Flying Scotsman and the class 43 (InterCity 125).

I visited on 2/08/25, and all photos are from that date.

Due to the vast number of Greatest Gathering photos taken, I have decided to organise all of them into groups based on type of train:

Steam Locomotives

Diesel Locomotives (Work ongoing)

Electric, Bi-Mode & Tri-Mode locomotives

Alternatively Fuelled Multiple Units

Bi-mode Multiple Units (BMUs) (Coming soon)
