Heritage Diesel Train Ride

Enjoy a scenic and relaxing ride along the Dean Forest Railway behind one of our heritage diesel locomotives. Your journey begins at Norchard Station, travelling south to Lydney Junction where a short break allows passengers to use toilet facilities while the engine runs around. The train then continues north to Parkend, pausing again for a break and giving guests time to stretch and explore the platform before returning to Norchard. This leisurely trip offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of a heritage railway while enjoying the charm of restored diesel locomotives in operation.

Guests can enhance their experience by pre-booking delicious extras such as cream teas, afternoon teas, prosecco, or a bacon roll with a hot drink, available for collection from the café prior to departure. The journey provides ample photo opportunities and a chance to relax while travelling through the picturesque Lydney countryside. Families, couples, and railway enthusiasts can enjoy this immersive heritage railway experience, combining a comfortable ride with the atmosphere of traditional railway travel. The trip is perfect for those looking to appreciate diesel locomotive history in a scenic and engaging setting.
