We had a very successful day on Easter Monday with a great number of visitors on site.

It was a great test for our new signalling system and track improvements.

We will now plan our 2026 Calendar and let everyone know when we will be open again by posting details here as soon as it has been confirmed.

Thanks Robyn

Our new signalling is progressing well, however in a recent scheduled inspection we have discovered serious corrosion on our track over river bridge.

The bridge must be replaced before we can use it with public trains and is used in all our main routes.

This is very disappointing for our members and our visitors alike.

At this stage it is difficult to give a definite time scale for the work as we are still pricing the options, but we anticipate significant investment will be required.

it is possible that we will not be open until 2026. We hope that this is not the case, but we do not want to give children false hope.

As soon as we are ready to reopen we will of course let everyone know on this page.

Please do not rely on Google Maps info as it regularly gets updated without our consent or knowledge.
