Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Coate Water Miniature Railway

We open every Sunday (weather permitting) and most bank holidays. The railway is also open where advertised on Saturdays (but may be open if sufficient volunteers are available). During the summer school holidays we open on a Tuesday.
Opening times are from around 11am through to 5pm, or dusk during the winter.
During the summer we will be open on Wednesdays from around 5pm-dusk
Please note that steam haulage is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed, as it is reliant on members bringing their locomotives. Usually the resident battery electric locos will be the motive power.
