- Join Santa on a magical vintage Steam Train ride! Gifts, treats, and festive fun for every child on the Santa Express!
Join us for a packed day of mixed traffic running! Expect to see a range of home fleet diesel locos and special guests D7018 and D9551 from our Autumn Diesel Gala, plus one of our home fleet steam engines in action across a busy timetable.
There’ll be passenger trains, goods workings, and a limited number of brake van rides available too – perfect for anyone who wants to get a little closer to the action. And the best bit? Kids travel for just £1
The best bit of Mixed Traffic Day? Kids can travel for just £1 each! With every adult ticket, you can bring up to three children (aged 3–15) for just a quid per child. It’s an affordable way to enjoy a day of trains, fun, and adventure together.
If you want to get closer to the action during the Mixed Traffic Day on 7th September, we will be running a limited number of brake van rides throughout the day. Each journey will start at Quorn before heading to Rothley Brook, back to Loughborough then back to Quorn aboard a variety of different diesel locomotives – with the experience lasting around 1 hour. It’s the perfect way to complete your day of Mixed Traffic Running!
Brake Van Ride tickets must be purchased in accompaniment with a runabout ticket.
