When We're Open

Running Times

The Dragon Miniature Railway operates trains every weekend and Bank Holiday throughout the year. We are also open daily during local school holidays.
From May to September we operate also on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Opening times are from 11 until 4.30, weather permitting.
Though we try to stay open through periods of light rain, we may close early if the weather is extreme.

The picnic area is open on every operating day between Easter and October subject to weather and ground conditions; please ask at the station if you wish to be dropped off at Riverside Halt for the picnic area. You can catch a later train back on the same ticket.

Please Contact Us if you have any queries about when, or what, we may be running.

Fares

Fares are 70p all classes and ages, though under 2's travel free.

Ten-ride tickets are available for £5.50, saving £1.50 on normal fares. These tickets can be used on all operating days and have no expiry date, and are valid for ten rides on the DMR from the date issued.

Steam Trains

Though trains are normally hauled by our hard-working petrol locomotives, steam is provided by either Jack on Saturdays, or Princess or Lady P. on Sundays from 11.30 until 4.00, subject to staff availability.

Stream locos will also be in operation on Bank Holidays.

No steam is used during the week during school holidays, though a steam locomotive may occasionally be on display outside the sheds. Feel free to contact us if you have any queries about which locomotives may be in operation at any time.
