IMPORTANT STORM BOELO UPDATE

​

With regret, we have decided to cancel today's steam train operations due to the ongoing strong winds. Our railway runs through established tall trees, and we have judged the risk of one of them coming down in the storm to be too great. Our tearoom is also closed due to storm damage.

​

Our next operation day is next Sunday, our Charity Day, where all our fares are donated to BBC Children in Need, and our tearoom receipts go to Macmillan Coffee Morning fundraising. Please do come along to support. Trains from 11.15.

​

Thank you for your support and understanding today.​

We are a short-line narrow-gauge steam railway in the north-west of England, with a large collection of industrial locos.

We run steam trains every Sunday and Bank Holiday from around Easter to early November, plus other holiday dates.

We are looking for more volunteers to help run the Railway and maintain the site and our heritage trains.

If you can spare a few hours a week (or just occasionally) we would love to hear from you! Learn more here.
