The National Railway Museum (NRM) in York and Locomotion at Shildon are to introduce a two-year pause for loaning out objects and vehicles.
The moratorium is to enable NRM staff to deliver the museum’s Vision 2025 masterplan, and will cover loan requests received between January 2022 and December 2023.
Existing loan agreements, those currently in discussion, or proposals received before 31 January 2022, will not be affected.
Heritage galas will be required to give at least six months’ requests for rail vehicles to attend. Plans for Flying Scotsman in 2022 and the centenary year celebrations in 2023 will be unaffected.
From January 2024, new requests for loans will be considered in line with the museum’s standard notice periods of six months before the start of UK loans and nine months for international loans.
