We endeavour to have Club members on site every Saturday and Sunday from Easter through to October to give rides for the public.We are also run whenever possible during the weekdays of the school holidays when AER are running.
We also run our trains, when weather permits, to support the AER Halloween and Christmas Specials - this is very popular with our visitors.
