Another incredible North East story from the team behind Wor Bella, Carrying David and Hadaway Harry.
The Cramlington Train Wreckers marks the centenary of the 1926 General Strike.

On May 10, 1926, miners in Cramlington, Northumberland, inadvertently derailed the Flying Scotsman. Only one person was slightly injured. Eight strikers were imprisoned for 48 years.

Having sold out venues across the North East in 2024, this inspiring story of community, working-class solidarity, laughter and heartbreak is transferring to the region’s biggest stage.
