Welcome

There’s nothing like a departure by steam train. Enjoy a scenic ten mile return journey to Manuel along the Forth Estuary, through woodlands, past waterfalls and over the Avon Viaduct.

Our friendly volunteers are waiting to welcome you aboard and invite you to soak up the atmosphere of our award-winning heritage railway through the sights, sounds and smells of yesteryear.

Buy your ticket from the authentic Booking Office, get up close to a mighty steam engine and climb aboard a lovingly restored carriage. Listen for the whistles and watch for the green flag as you experience the ambience and nostalgia of a bygone era.
