Running for just under a third of a mile round the boating lake, the tracks meander through the trees and over the level crossings before arriving back at the station. A cafe' can also be enjoyed on site with what is quoted as "the best view seen from a cafe'" due to the large open viewing of the train running by. Open in excess of 200 days a year, do come and have a trip whether your young or just young at heart!

Tonights the night; the final countdown to 'Scream In The Woods' 2026 has begun, beginning in just over three hours with 'A Quiet Place'.

Two trips for the price of one, 'A Quiet Place' to enjoy the sights without the frights, and 'Scream In The Woods', giving the same sights with absolutely ALL the frights. The question is; will you dare to take a trip down our tree lined tracks tonight?

🎃 TONIGHT
🌙 A Quiet Place | 16:30PM - 17:15PM
☠️ Scream In The Woods | 17:15PM - Late

With our terrifying night of screams and steam just over twenty-four hours away, we thought it'd be wise to answer a few FAQ's!

🕷️ Is booking required? Not at all; just turn up and hop aboard.

🕷️ How much is 'Scream In The Woods' and 'A Quiet Place'? £2 per person, with children travelling free until their third birthday. Card and cash accepted. Our usual fare, with the only difference being that all trains after 16:30 are two trips, as opposed to our traditional one.

🕷️ Is there any way to have a ride without scarers? Of course there is; 16:30 - 17:15 of the evening is dubbed 'A Quiet Place', offering a more suitable trip for those wanting the sights and steam, without any added screams, making it ideal for those with smaller children and additional care needs.

🍂 Steaming After The Storm 🍂

Thankfully the worst of Storm Boelo has subsided and, although it is still a very windy day on the seafront, we are back at it, running today's blustery service with Adiela!

A gentle reminder that we are of course running a DAILY SERVICE currently for the October Half-Term, with the usual caveat of favourable weather.

25/10/2026

⚠️ PASSENGER NOTICE - SUNDAY 25TH ⚠️

Unfortunately we have reluctantly took the decision to suspend our service for the day, due to the extremely high winds we are experiencing on the seafront, brought on by Storm Boelo. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and, fingers crossed, we'll be back open tomorrow with Adiela.

⚡️🎃 Scream In The Woods 2026 🎃⚡️

IT'S ALIVE! With a flash of lightning and a blood curdling cry, we're once again awakening Scream In The Woods from it's deathly slumber; transforming a trip on our railway into a twilight departure you're unlikely to forget in a hurry!

This year, our 'night of frights' will begin at 16:30 with 'A Quiet Place'; no scarers but all the sights and lights, with TWO TRIPS for the PRICE OF ONE (no booking required, continuing all night). A ghost train more suitable for the youngest of children and those who wish to enjoy our haunted woods without the fear of a fright around every corner.

At 17:15 however, the gloves come off and the scarers will give chase to any unfortunate soul who dares to take a trip down our tracks until late into the evening. With a few new tricks up our sleeves that we'll reveal in the coming days, this year will be sure to get your heart racing as 'The Rattler' thunders down our tree lined tracks, this Thursday night!
