This special train only visited Rawtenstall for this one day as it made it's journey around the UK to celebrate 200 years of the railway! Learners and staff learnt about the past, present and future of the railway by taking part in quizzes, exploring engineering tasks, listening to experts about uses of technology and dressing up as various roles of the railway! To quote one of our Secondary learners, our visit to this unique train was, 'Inspiring and fascinating!'. ### The Inspiration train [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8331.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8331.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8332.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8332.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8336.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8336.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8347.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8347.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8352.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8352.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8353.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8353.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8364.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8364.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8367.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8367.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8374.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8374.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8375.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8375.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8377.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8377.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8378.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8378.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8380.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8380.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8383.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_8383.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9055.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9055.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9077.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9077.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9079.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9079.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9092.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9092.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9101.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/IMG_9101.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/processed-94D4A908-828D-439C-BB69-F51177CE987E.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/processed-94D4A908-828D-439C-BB69-F51177CE987E.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/processed-885A3E9B-401A-420A-9841-C8562E1781FB.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/processed-885A3E9B-401A-420A-9841-C8562E1781FB.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-inspiration-train/processed-D13DBB07-1CE1-4FC8-A986-F86287C8C903.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/the-inspiration-train/processed-D13DBB07-1CE1-4FC8-A986-F86287C8C903.jpeg) [ 34I Speaking and Listening -
