About

A great way to visit the East Anglian RailwayMuseum and have unlimited rides in our vintage wagons or carriages, pulled by one of our fleet of Diesel locomotives, or one of our vintage diesel trains.

We operate unlimited rides between 10.30 – 15.30, the Museum opens at 10.00 right through until 17.00.  

EVENT TIMETABLE Our trains run all day long with no fixed timetable from 10.30 to 15.00, and you can have as many rides as you like, whenever you like.

ON SITE CATERING Feeling Hungry? You can visit our award winning Platform Two Cafe – they're open from 10am – 5pm and serve tasty breakfast, lunch & snack options, as well as coffee, tea & a range of cold beverages.
