News for Young Train Enthusiasts:
Selected dates during the season March to October
Our steam locomotive will start running in May. Until then we have our stunning vintage diesel for you to enjoy
You can join our heritage trains at either Chinnor or Princes Risborough stations. For car parking and public transport see the section on Arriving. Choose your seats, sit back, relax and enjoy your trip alongside the Chiltern Hills, where the lovely views open out to the Vale of Aylesbury stretching into the distance. As the scenery gently unfolds past your window you may also spot some of our local wildlife and perhaps the red kites whirling overhead! For further information see our Journey Guide.
