Steam engine Merlin at Rudyard Station
Eileen Hanson (Director) said. “This is a fun family day trip and the children really enjoy getting their eggs. It is one the ways we are trying to provide good value family days out at a modest cost.”
The normal return fares of Adult £3.50 and child £2.50 will apply and prior booking is not required. Trains will run from 11.00am to 4pm every day. Normal steam trains are also running every day over the Easter school holiday from March 27thth to April 11th.
The railway is always steam operated using half size narrow gauge style equipment. The trains will also run every Saturday, Sunday and school holiday to the end of October and Wednesdays from June to end of September. The latest Easter event information is at www.rlsr.org
The Rudyard Lake Steam Railway is located 2 miles North of Leek in Staffordshire.
