Saturday Steam Train Rides
Description
Whitehead Railway Museum is delighted to announce their Saturday Steam Train Rides.
You’ll climb on board at the 1907 platform and enjoy a 10 minute train ride up and down the site. Hauled by the vintage steam engine and sitting in a carriage which a certain famous wizard would feel at home in, you will be transported to a bygone era. This is an experience like none other provided on the island of Ireland. Your day will certainly be one that you will not forget!
Train rides will be running 11am to 3:20pm, every 20 minutes.
Please note that the train is scheduled to leave promptly on time. Please arrive five minutes before your timeslot. Come directly to the Whitehead Railway Museum Station Building and follow the signage for ‘Steam Train Rides.’
Upon arrival you will be asked to show your ticket (digital or physical) and you will be allocated your compartment. You will be permitted to board about five minutes before departure.
Compartments cannot exceed the maximum capacity booked. Children must be included in your total numbers.
Food and Drink
The beautiful Platform 3 cafe is back for business as well. Step back to a bygone era in our quaint cafe, enjoying a cool drink at the outside picnic tables if the sun is shining.
Please note there are restricted numbers of visitors, in order to allow for appropriate social distancing.
While contactless payment is advised, cash payments in GBP Sterling are also accepted.
Facilities
Public toilets are available onsite.
