GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY

Easter Services 2008

Return to Special Events

Mini eggs and family prizes galore for the holidays!

The Great Central Railway will be celebrating Easter with an Eggs-stravaganza. From Good Friday to Easter Monday children will get a free mini egg along with their ticket to ride. There’s also the chance to win prizes by entering an ‘eggy’ themed quiz, in conjunction with Twycross Zoo! Answer all the questions and you’ll be in with the chance of family tickets for the Zoo and also railway tickets to come back and visit us at the next Thomas the Tank Engine event in May.

The railway is running trains throughout the holidays from the 21st of March to the 28th March, details of which are shown below.
