Shell Mex No8, our Barclay Fireless engine will be steamed and operating on the last Sunday of June, July, August and September. As a result the 11am train on those days will be diesel hauled.
We are a heritage railway and, while most of our trains are steam hauled, we may change to our heritage diesel locomotives. This may be due the weather, old engines and other factors that mean we have to make changes.
Trains depart every 30 minutes from 11am to 4pm (except at 13:00 as the train crews stop for lunch).
Departure Times:
11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 13:30, 14:00, 14:30, 15:00, 15:30, 16:00
Whilst we endeavour to operate our railway in accordance with the stated opening times, we regret that in certain circumstances, such as poor weather or shortage of volunteers, the railway may not open.
