The KDRA is a Heritage Railway run entirely by volunteers. Scottish Registered Charity No SC046348

The Keith & Dufftown Railway Association began operating again in 2000, running from Dufftown to Drummuir, and to Keith the following year. It is staffed entirely by volunteers whose aim is to keep the line open for the benefit of the public.

We unexpectedly have 3 seats available on both the Friday and the Saturday Halloween trains! We know that Friday is the more popular day so hurry if that's your evening of choice. Check out our website: www.keith-dufftown-railway.co.uk / book tickets

We can accommodate just a few more passengers on our spooktacular Halloween train event this Saturday evening. Bookings accepted via web page, don’t miss out.

There are still tickets available for our Halloween Special on Saturday 31 October. Friday 30 October is now sold out. Online bookings only. See our website for tickets. Are you brave enough to ride this train through the mysterious Dark Glen?

Can't believe that it's that time of year already! Only a couple of weeks before the undead rise and the supernatural manifests itself... 👻💀
Friday nights Ghost Train is nearly sold out, but there are still tickets available for the Saturday.
Booking online on our website is essential.

We would like to acknowledge and thank very much The Macallan (Glasgow) volunteers for their help in clearing the undergrowth from our yard yesterday at Dufftown Station.

There goes our last run of this season, departing Dufftown on its way to Keith Town. Time has flown bye this year and we would like to thank all our passengers, members, volunteers, visitors, supporters and Anya, Darren and their team Sidings Cafe Dufftown, who remain open until Remembrance Sunday 8th November. Upcoming Railway events are our Halloween Event, Santa Specials and Hogmanay celebration, all details on our webpage.

This weekend will be our last of the regular 2026 services! We can't believe that we have come to the end of the season already; where has time gone? If you haven't travelled with us this year, now is your opportunity to catch up! Tickets available online or from our ticket clerks at Keith Town and Dufftown stations.
We won't be hanging up our hats though, as the "closed season" provides an opportunity to get on with lots of maintenance.
And the good news is that our cafe remains open for several weeks yet, so come along for a coffee and a "piece".

Visitors to Dufftown Station may have noticed that the cafe carriage (yard-side) has had a much-needed coat of paint. This involved a considerable amount of work cleaning, filling, sanding, applying several layers of undercoat and finally 4 coats of paint. It's now nearing completion and looks fantastic. We hope that our cafe customers will appreciate it too.

We are busy working behind the scenes on a new website which we hope to launch next year. The new site will have a fresh, updated look and will be easier to navigate on pc, tablet and mobile phone. But we can't do this on our own and would love to include new pictures to showcase our wonderful railway. And that's where you, our followers and passengers come in. We are appealing for photos of events, scenery, train journeys, visits to our railway that you may have and would be happy to share with us on the new site. If sending, please clearly state your permission for us to publish, and your name so that credit may be included. It may not be possible to include all but we'll do our best and look forward to seeing your pictures. Many thanks in advance!
