There are 2 railways on site

We have 2 railways on site:-

• Ground Level – this is where the bigger engines run. Follow the track from the Entrance to the first station (Opposite the Ticket Office). In busy times, the queue may be a little long – but these trains take many passengers, so the queue goes quickly. Each ride is about 4-10 minutes long, depending on the Signalling team.
• Raised Track – this is where the smaller engines run – but they are still powerful! Past the Ground Level Station, cross over the bridge to find our picnic field – you can enjoy the space, watch the trains, or join a train on the Raised Track.
