The event takes place between Friday 1 and Sunday 3 August as part of this year’s Railway 200 celebrations.
This three-day, sold-out festival at train manufacturer Alstom’s Derby Litchurch Lane Works, will feature more than 50 iconic vehicles from the past, present and future of the railways, and marks the first time in almost 50 years that the rolling stock factory has been open to the general public.
Dovetail Games will be appearing in the event’s STEM Hub with two booths hosting Train Sim World for members of the public to enjoy. This space is designed to be both immersive and interactive, with a focus on inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders – by showcasing the breadth of disciplines that power the railway industry.

Train Sim World 5 features the Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolino, which is one of the trains attending the event. Additional content features Derby Litchurch Lane Works (visible in Midland Main Line), LMS Jubliee locomotives and the iconic HST, which are also attending.
Two consoles will be available to play at the stand and keen visitors will also be able to play using a converted professional train driver training simulator with a Class 700 style control desk and real train controls. Additional independent simulators will be at the event utilising Dovetail Games software.
Matt Peddlesden, Executive Producer At Dovetail Games:
We’re thrilled to be taking part in this once-in-a-generation railway event and sharing the passion, history and love for trains with visitors through our world-leading simulation title.
Andy Butters, Managing Director of Derby Litchurch Lane Works at Alstom:
It’s a pleasure to welcome Dovetail Games to Litchurch Lane for The Greatest Gathering. Their presence in the STEM Hub brings a dynamic, interactive dimension to the event – one that perfectly complements our mission to delight railfans and inspire the next generation of railway innovators. As the UK’s only end-to-end train manufacturing site, it’s a privilege to open our doors and showcase the future of rail alongside such passionate partners.
The Greatest Gathering takes place 1 – 3 August 2025. Tickets are sold out.
