​WELCOME!
The Only Steam Working Public 9 1/2 inch gauge railway in the UK!
Currently the only public, steam working 9 1/2 inch gauge railway in the UK, Lakeshore Railroad was first opened in 1972 and is still going strong to this day! Running for just under a third of a mile round the boating lake, the tracks meander through the trees and over the level crossings before arriving back at the station.
A café' can also be enjoyed on site with what is quoted as "the best view seen from a café'" due to the large open viewing of the train running by.
Open in excess of 200 days a year, do come and have a trip whether your young or just young at heart!
Do enjoy our website, more in depth detail can be found in the enthusiasts section but don't worry, if you can't find something that you want to know, do ask, we don't bite!

Daily Running, Over And Out
And just like that, our main summer season has come to a close, and with it, so has our daily running for the year. For the next two weeks, we will continue to operate weekends and cherry-pick "fine weather" weekdays (meaning fine conditions, sun and no rain in the days forecast), after which we will revert to a weekend only service for the remainder of the year, with the exception of the upcoming October Half Term (25th October - 2nd November) and Christmas Holidays.
​
Last but not least, from all of our dedicated band of staff and volunteers, we want to say a huge thank you to our passengers, old and new, for taking a trip with us this gloriously sunny summer. We couldn't keep the wheels turning without you!
