Tyseley Locomotive Works

Photograph at the Tyseley Locomotive Works plaque

Tyseley Locomotive Works stands as a vital centre for railway engineering in Birmingham. It is the operational heart of Vintage Trains, a company dedicated to mainline rail tours. The works are situated on land that was once a Great Western Railway depot, preserving a significant piece of railway history. Visitors can see a wide range of locomotives here, including impressive steam engines from the Great Western Railway, alongside powerful ex-mainline diesel engines.
