Tips & Advice
- Book tickets in advance, especially for weekend dates, as popular slots can sell out quickly.
- Arrive at Page's Park Station at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure to allow time for parking and finding the platform.
- Consider attending on a weekday if possible, as Wednesday trains are often less crowded and ideal for younger children.
- The shop at Page's Park Station is a great place to find unique Thomas the Tank Engine merchandise and other railway-themed gifts.
- Dress warmly, as the train journey is short but the station can be chilly, and the steam engine may emit a bit of cool air.
Special Events & Promotions
- Pre-school Wednesday specials on December 3 and 10 for younger visitors.
- School bookings available on some Wednesday trains.
