This long easter weekend we will be giving rides on Sunday 2:30pm until 5:00pm as usual, but also on Monday too 2:30pm until 5:00pm!

On top of that, all of our donations this weekend are going to The Royal Osteoporosis Society!

We have members who are supported by The Royal Osteoporosis Society and are keen to donate as much as we can from the rides we give on Sunday and Monday!

Even sharing this post helps us out and spreads the message wide! We hope to see you Sunday and Monday

We are the UK’s only national charity dedicated to bone health and osteoporosis. We work to improve the bone health of the nation and support everyone with osteoporosis to live well through our support services and advice.

Just a reminder that WE WILL BE GIVING FREE RIDES TO THE PUBLIC ON BOXING DAY Friday 26th December, roughly between 11am and 3pm (we need time to clean our locomotives and put them away in daylight). As usual it will be weather permitting, at the moment it looks like it will be dry okay but a bit chilly, never fear the cold will not stop us.

No money or plastic cards required, Boxing Day we like rides to be free. When 2026 gets here we will welcome donations, but Boxing Day is our free rides day, to say thank you for supporting us in the last year. So let none of us worry about money till next year!

A free train ride is just what you need after all that festive food the day before!

Santa is likely to be driving a locomotive, it’s his play day after delivering all those presents!

Wishing you a very happy Christmas from all of our members.

See you on Boxing Day!
