ADVANCED GALA AND EVENT DAY TICKETS ARE VALID FOR ANY GALA OR EVENT DAY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HALLOWEEN AND SANTA SPECIALS.  

Our gala and event days are a great family day out; normally, at least two of our heritage steam locomotives are used on frequent short journeys to Delph. Watch the engines run around the train, take water and get a chance to speak to the driver and see how a steam locomotive works. Each event day has a special theme; see our website for details. www.westlancsrailway.org . Trains depart every 30 minutes, and your tickets are valid for ALL-DAY travel. Just show your validated e-ticket either via your mobile or a paper copy to the booking office on the day of travel.  

We do not charge a booking fee.
