Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- A typical visit lasts around two hours. This gives you time to travel on the steam and diesel trains with unlimited travel throughout your visit, plus time to explore the heritage stations.
- Can we get to the railway easily with young children?
- Vintage buses run from Epping and Shenfield stations on most operating days, bringing you directly to the heritage stations, so you don't need your own transport. The railway is the closest heritage railway to London and just a short trip on the Central Line.
- Is there anywhere to eat?
- The railway runs Dining Train events throughout the year where you can enjoy a meal while travelling. We haven't confirmed whether there is a café at the stations themselves.
- Does it run in bad weather?
- The railway operates on most days, though we haven't confirmed how weather affects running. Check the timetable on their website before your visit to see what's scheduled for your chosen date.
