Heritage Diesel Railcar Train Ride

Enjoy a scenic and relaxing ride along the Dean Forest Railway aboard our heritage diesel railcar, offering panoramic views of the forest and surrounding countryside. Passengers will travel from Norchard Station through Lydney Junction and on to Parkend before returning to Norchard, with short breaks at each station. These stops allow time to stretch, use the facilities, and appreciate the charm of the historic railway stations. When both steam trains and the heritage diesel railcar are operating, passengers with steam train tickets may also travel on the diesel railcar, providing flexibility and the chance to experience multiple aspects of the heritage railway in one visit.

This journey offers a comfortable and immersive way to experience Lydney’s forest scenery, whether travelling alone, with family, or with friends. Children and dogs are welcome, with tickets priced accordingly, making it a family friendly adventure. Guests can enhance their trip by pre-ordering a bacon roll and hot drink or visiting Whistles Café for a selection of refreshments. The heritage diesel railcar provides a unique perspective of the railway, combining convenience, scenic views, and heritage charm, making it an ideal outing for both railway enthusiasts and those seeking a leisurely and enjoyable day in Dean Forest.
