Schools Education Days webpage. In the last 2 years the society has welcomed over 300 primary school children to it's Schools Days at Whitehead. The days were a huge success providing primary school children with an appreciation of the history and social impact of railway, as well as offering a fascinating day out. This page has been created to keep YOU better informed. The Society's extensive sheds and workshops are open and your guide provides a tour specifically aimed at the primary school audience.
Questionnaires keep the children's minds occupied and make the trip both enjoyable and educational.
Two of the societies steam engines will be in steam providing a unique opportunity to view the working parts and conditions of an express steam railway locomotive at close quarters. A trip in a vintage carriage behind a steam locomotive will culminate a hopefully memorable and educational day. On approaching Whitehead town DOE signs direct the traveller to 'Railway Society'. Coaches and buses can be parked in the ample room available by Whitehead Community Centre adjacent to the RPSI's Whitehead Excursion Station platform.
