RE: DIESEL GALA
The latest forecast is for thunderstorms and rain to move in after 3pm.
Subject to members present, we will aim to open at the advertised time of 1pm with our Blue Service – Diesels only – and run rides (likely only one train in service) until the rain moves in after 3pm.
Effectively the Diesel Gala is cancelled. We are very sorry for any disappointment.
Please arrive sooner rather than later for the best chance of a train ride. We hope to see some of you this afternoon, with wellies, raincoats and brollies!
A showcase of our Diesel locomotives.
Our range of Diesel locomotives are modelled on those from several countries and designed for various jobs – shunting, freight, express passenger.
Look out for petrol powered locomotives – these are not normally used on passenger trains on our railway and will be something quite different! Trains during the day may be double headed (two locomotives hauling one train) or top and tailing (a second locomotive pushing at the rear of the train).
Extended opening from 1pm to 6pm but normal fares apply;
£1 Single Ride
£4 Day Rover – unlimited rides on day of issue (ideal to get to ride behind all the different locomotives)
