Fares

Special Event Fares for 2012

Some, but not all, of our Special Events have revised fares in operation. These revised fares are shown in the table below. As with most of our fares, advance purchase saves money on the fare charged at one of our stations on the day of your visit.

Normal Fares

These are the fares that you will pay if purchased from one of our stations on the day of your visit.. The table below lists these fares. The fares shown are valid for one day and offer 'Freedom of the Line'. This means that you can get on and off the trains as many times as you wish, at all stations where the trains are scheduled to stop, throughout the day. They also permit FREE admission to The Engine House, our Visitor Centre at Highley.

Pre-book & Save

Discount fares are available for most special events. Pre-book at our online Ticket Office or by telephone on 01299 403816. These fares have the same validity as Normal Fares described above but cannot be purchased at our stations on the day of your visit. A £1.00 booking fee applies per booking.
