The train ride takes approximately 35 to 40 minutes. If we have one locomotive in steam, it runs around the train in the sidings to pull the train on the return. This is an hourly service starting at 11am. If we are running two engines, as we will do at the Diesel Weekend, the ride will be around 30 minutes with a 45 minute timetable in operation. Your day ticket allows unlimited rides. More good info on our website to help you enjoy your visit.
