Ashton Court Railway
A great day out for all the family.
We have two tracks, each approximately 1/3 mile long and normally have frequent Running Days for the public on weekends and bank holidays throughout the summer. Everybody is welcome and we look forward to seeing you all. Public Running extends from March to December. The programme of running for 2024 is published on the Public Ride Days.
Our Tracks
We have two main tracks, both in the form of continuous loops. The raised track is a combined 3½” and 5” gauge line and is raised above ground level to improve the comfort of drivers and passengers and to increase stability. The ground level track is 7¼” and 5″ gauge and runs round the outside of the raised track. Both tracks run through a tunnel and are controlled by a variety of semaphore and coloured light signals.
Locomotives
The society owns various 5” locomotives and 7¼” locomotives, both steam and electric.
Track Layout
Tracks are serviced by sidings, a traverser and steaming bays.
These dates are subject to the weather (as always), the availability of volunteers and we also reserve the right to suspend or amend operations if the government reintroduces any Covid-19 regulations or advice.
