Our narrow-gauge heritage steam trains are now closed for the winter maintenance period.​​​​

​​​

We re-open on Sunday 28th March 2026 - see you then!

​

In the meantime, if you are interested in volunteering please come and see us on any Thursday or Sunday afternoon, or contact us here.

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 Easter to early November, plus other holiday dates.

We run exciting special events throughout the season!

Learn to drive one of our engines, have a party or bring a group!

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.

Join the Railway at the shop or on the membership page of this site.
