The line runs through the woodlands skirting the lake from Woody Bay Station beside the beach, all the way round to Ruislip Lido (Water's Edge) Station which is close to the car park. Here you can watch the loco being turned on the turntable ready for the return journey. The two and a half mile round trip takes about 35 minutes. All our trains are wheelchair, pushchair and buggy friendly. The service is normally operated by one of our large diesel locomotives. On summer Sundays and Bank Holidays, our steam locomotive 'Mad Bess', which is a half scale version of the Ffestiniog Railway locomotive 'Blanche', may pull the train. Our railway shop stocks a wide range of merchandise, whilst our Tea Room offers a selection of teas, coffees and light refreshments. PLEASE NOTE – We do not run the car parks, toilets, San Remo café, Waters Edge carvery or anything else within the Lido, just the railway. We operate the trains on the railway, the small gift shop in our station building by the beach and the small Tea Room within our station by the car park. Please do not complain to us about the facilities mentioned above or mark us down in reviews for these areas… We have no control over them!
