This Saturday is our Talk Like A Pirate Day YAAAAAAR!! Dress up and come for a ride on the seas(!) with our own pirates!
Please note we’ll be opening a bit later today due to some works. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Don’t let last night’s wet weather put you off coming to the railway! The sun is making its way out of the clouds and the forecast is great! 🌞 Our guys are at the railway prepping for the day! Trains start at 12.30 with the last at 4.50. See you there! Choo choo!!
It’s never completely plain sailing on the railways, mostly because we’re trains and not boats. 🤭 Our plan to run Davanna today took a left turn as she needs a new baffle plate fitted which needs shaving to size. Our fantastic volunteers are sorting this out as we speak, while Phoenix takes charge of the passenger trains! 👍
The sun’s out for another glorious day! We’re aiming to have our steam loco, Davanna, out and about today, as well as our lovely trusty old Phoenix loco. Ticket office will be open from 12.30 with the last train at 4.50 - come along for a ride on the oldest pub garden miniature railway!
