Every Wednesday during term time we run a pay-per-ride diesel service from 11am – 1.45pm, an ideal mid-week outing.

Just £4 for adults
£3 for children aged 4-16yr
FREE for children ages 3 and under, it’s great value.

There’s no need to book, just arrive at the tea room to grab your ticket. Great for a few of hours out with the kids at affordable price.

Pay per ride Diesel Days run every Wednesday up to the October Half term, then every day over the half term (Wednesday 20th Oct - Sun 3rd Nov) after which the service ceases until the new year.

Sunday 6th October

The Gala is the annual celebration of locomotives, with as many steam and diesel locos out in service as possible! This year we have four Steam and five Diesels planned to work the line. * A fabulous opportunity to see your favourite loco in action, have a ride (or many) on the trains and a chance for some great photographs with lots going on, including A Young Engineer's Workshops for children!

This Gala we welcome Peter's Railway who will be running two special workshops during the day for budding engineers, train drivers and kids who want to know how stuff works! This fascinating, interactive session is suitable for all children and is INCLUDED in your ticket price. With limited spaces, book your place on the ticket check-out page to secure your spot.

The number of locos (and which particular locos) in service on the day is subject to last minute changes as per engineering requirements.
Please note the Yew Tree Farm School is NOT OPEN on this day as they now operate exclusively as a school.

Following the Just Giving appeal for funds set up in August, we are pleased to announce the appeal has so far raised just over £5000! This is a huge help considering the winter months are upon us and we’re unable to open for monthly event days as we do through the Summer. As such the £5000 is being used to purchase steam coal and diesel for the coming year, ensuring our engines are able to operate and stay in service.

Work goes ahead with Lawyers appointed to assist in the formation and approval of the Bredgar and Wormshill Light Railway Charity. We are hopeful charitable status will be achieved in the new year at which point the railway will be eligible for financial support.

In the mean time we continue with our Just Giving page, to necessitate the raising of much needed funds. The purpose of the funds going forward include helping towards setting up the charity as well as locomotive work. Limpopo needs extensive boiler works to see her through her ten year certification at an expected cost of around £50,000. Locomotives Helga and Zambezi are coming to completion of work for their 10 year certificates.
