About

Come on down to Whitehead and celebrate our patron saint whilst enjoying our fabulous world of trains.

On the historic 1907 platform at Whitehead Excursion Station you’ll board our train for a short (10 to 15 minute) trip within our premises. Hauled by our 105 year-old locomotive No.3BG "Guinness", you will travel in a carriage which a certain famous wizard would feel at home in - you will be transported to a bygone era.

Included in your ticket price is admission to our 5-gallery Museum (allow at least an hour). Incudes activities for children in "The Stables" and "Carriage Gallery". Out activities may be available - see Special Events below.

Afterwards, treat yourself to some food in our Platform 3.

Suitable for children of all ages!

Trains every 30 minutes fom 11am until 3pm.

The full price of this would normally be £13 but for this special first day of our season, we are offering the experience, with a few surprises along the wayat a reduced price.

Note: Tickets need to be booked in advance and cannot be booked online on the day of the event.
