Welcome to our Railway.
​
When booking online please either print out your confirmation of booking or save it to your mobile phone. You will need to show this at our booking office at Furnace Sidings when you arrive in order to receive your travel tickets. Please do not board the train unless you have your travel tickets. Please read our terms and conditions of booking before purchasing tickets.
WARNING - Scammers are actively trying to sell tickets that aren’t genuine.
We strongly advise that you only purchase tickets direct from this website.
Our system checks every ticket on arrival and will identify those that are not genuine.
If you board the train at any other station then please collect your tickets from the ticket office at Furnace Sidings when you arrive there.
Any discounts advertised are available for advance booking made online via this website.
Discounts will be applied automatically at the checkout.
Children aged 0 - 3 yrs travel for free on standard running days only. Well behaved dogs are also welcomed to travel at no cost - we just kindly request that they are kept off the seats at all times. ​
​
​Tickets are valid for the date and time booked.
Subject to available space, you may also travel on additional services on the booked day of travel only.
Please speak to our Station Masters for further information.
Tickets are available on the day of travel from our ticket office at our Furnace Sidings station. Please note that we only accept contactless/card payments. There are no cash facilities available.
Please note that stated fares are standard for travel in either our regular 'TSO open carriage' or one of our compartment carriages, depending on the stock in use on the day of your visit and what seats you have selected when checking out. For representative images, please see here.
We operate services every weekend from April to September, with additional services on bank and public holidays, together with Wednesdays during the school summer holidays.
​
Our popular Santa's Magical Steam Train Specials also return, with further information to follow in due course.
Please do not contact us about these events at the current time.
Full details and ticket availability will be posted on this website and on our Facebook page when they have been finalised.
To find out more about our special events, please visit our dedicated pages.
Saloon Travel
In 2022 we introduced regular saloon travel on our services. These carriages allow visitors to experience life as an engineering director and are subject to an altered fare structure.
Supplements are payable for travel in our first class saloon coach subject to availability.
​
For further information, please visit our dedicated saloon travel page here.
Special Events
For further information about our special events, including our Annual Steam Gala, Halloween Ghost Trains and Steam Santa Specials, please visit our dedicated events page here.
Special timetables, fares and terms and conditions may apply, together with pre-booking only for the busiest events.
Facilities
The Fireman's Shovel Tearoom (information) and Eric's Emporium gift shop (information) will open every operating day, (subject to available volunteers).
Toilets (including accessible facilities) are available at Furnace Sidings and Blaenavon High Level stations only.
There are no toilet facilities on the trains.
Important Notice - Accessibility
Due to ongoing carriage maintenance, we deeply regret that wheelchair facilities are currently reduced. At present we cannot board wheelchairs onto the train, with all passengers needing to be able to walk or be carried from the platform through the relatively narrow doors onto a seat.
​
We deeply regret the above. It is hoped that an additional carriage specifically adapted for wheelchair users will also enter service in the second half of this year. This is currently being modified.
