FACILITIES
The journey is currently ¾ mile, and a complete single round trip takes rather less than seventeen minutes, but subject to the needs of other passengers, holders of ordinary return tickets may take unlimited travel on the day their ticket is issued, breaking their journey as many times as they wish.

• There is ample free parking for both cars and coaches, and tickets are usually available from both stations.
• Most trains can provide drinks and light refreshments. The Whistle Inn at the northern end of the line provides restaurant facilities, a beer garden and children's playground on Sundays and bank holidays
• Our line is the highest and steepest in the country, climbing through a wild and dramatic moorland landscape under the brooding Coity mountain. Look out for sheep, mountain horses, the peregrine falcon and hen harrier, and even the rare red kite ...and more sheep! For the butterfly fanatic, the incredibly rare Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary is known to make occasional appearances
• Garn Lakes are within five minutes walk and make an ideal spot for a gentle walk or a picnic after a ride on the train.
• Gifts, models and souvenirs are usually available at our site shop, just off the car park. If you are in town call in at our gift and model shop at 13a Broad Street for a wider range of goods.

· We can usually accommodate passengers with disabilities, but it helps if you can phone us before you arrive.

Charter trains
We can sometimes offer charter trains, and other services - please call us. We welcome enquiries from school parties for travel during the weeks before Christmas. 

Regular Services
Trains run every Sunday and most Saturdays from Easter till the end of September. If you want to talk to us about trains then regular days are the time to come! Trains run every day for the last week in August. Services are worked by Diesel Locomotive or Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) . Enjoy seeing where you're going by travelling on our DMUs.
