Booking information

Please ensure you bring your tickets either on your smartphone or printed off to present on arrival at our Stations or to a Travelling Ticket Inspector on the train.

All children are to be accompanied by a paying adult.

If you would prefer a shorter trip, we offer single and return tickets which can be purchased on the day at Wansford or Overton Stations or on the train from our Travelling Ticket Inspectors.

We will always try to run the advertised locomotive, however, this may sometimes have to change due to operational reasons.
