Description

In 2024 the National Railway Museum will deliver a roadshow across Great Britain as part of our Vision 2025 strategy.

We want to take a high profile steam locomotive from our National Collection into the middle of cities as part of a Vision 2025 roadshow. The locomotive will be accompanied by a visitor experience (in 2 x 40ft containers), a storage container (in 1 x 30ft container) and a pop up shop (in 1 x 30ft container) as well as family learning activities, and information about careers in rail and engineering.

We are looking for a transportation company to work closely with us in the planning and delivery of this tour, ensuring the set up, public access days, take down and moves for each location are delivered with a clear plan and executed successfully.
We do not yet know which cities will be on the tour. We will create a brief together, which includes all the technical, security, and commercial requirements for cities to check whether they are able to deliver the requirements.

Cities will bid to host the roadshow and only one city per region will be successful.
