Re-opening Announcement - Trains running from May 22nd - Tickets now available.

Following a review of the latest Government guidance, we are very pleased to announce that the railway will re-open to the public for the operation of passenger trains from Saturday 22nd May.  In order to comply with the latest Government guidance, we are unable to open any earlier than this date. Because passengers are unable to alight from the train until they arrive back at Midsomer Norton, their train ride is classed as an experience rather than an actual journey from one station to another station and therefore we will have to wait a little bit longer before welcoming the public back through our doors.

In the interim period, until we are open again, volunteers will be carrying out maintenance work on the trackwork and rolling stock to ensure that everything is in a good condition and ready to begin services from May 22nd onwards.

Train departure times from May 22nd (may vary for some special events).

Train 1,  10:15

Train 2,  11:45

Train 3,  13:15

Train 4,  14:45

Train 5,  16:15 (Selected dates - July, August and September only)

£15 for up to 2 people in an Open Carriage Bay
