We are pleased to announce that we are now taking bookings for the Santa Specials for this year. We are running on five days - 9th, 10th, 16th, 17th and the 23rd of December. Book ahead prices are £7 for children and £5 for adults. There are seven trains per day. Full details and on-line booking can be seen here. You can also make bookings in-person at our shop at the railway, which is open every Saturday plus Sundays 8th, 15th and 29th October. These trains have become extremely popular, and were completely sold-out last year - this is why we've added a fifth date to try to avoid disappointing anyone. The dates nearest to Christmas always sell-out the quickest, as to trains in the middle of the day. The Trust volunteers very much look forward to celebrating this special time of year with you and your family.
The Trust's aim is to build a museum and a railway to display its collection of industrial narrow gauge equipment that has been gathered from various industries around the UK in the last 30 years, and in doing so we aim to educate and entertain both the general public and the railway enthusiast.
The Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway is an unusual aspect of British Industrial Heritage that is now almost extinct. These small, self-contained railway systems were often hidden away from the general public and served such diverse industries as brickmaking, sewage works, munitions factories, mines, civil engineering and many more.
