Important safety notices
Any railway, even a miniature one, can pose potential hazards. Please take care on the site, do not enter any fenced-off areas, and obey all signs and instructions from members of staff.
First aid:
Several of our members are qualified first aiders. We have an AED in the station building along with a first aid kit. If you need help, please alert a member of staff.
Children under 12 months old:
We regret that due to the terms of our insurance cover, we are not able to carry children under 12 months as passengers on our trains, however, they are still welcome on site.
Safety whilst riding on our trains:
Passengers must not lean over while travelling on trains and must keep their feet on the running boards of the sit-astride coaches. All passengers must remain seated until the train becomes stationary at a designated stopping place.
Once passengers have boarded the train they must not get off for any reason (this includes taking photographs) until the train reaches its final destination, unless instructed by a member of the railway staff.
Steam locomotives warning:
By their very nature steam locomotives emit smoke, smuts, steam and oil. The railway cannot be held responsible for any staining of clothes or other damage caused.
Children:
Please watch over your children at all times, particularly near trains and on uneven ground. With our large site it is very easy for them to wander off. When travelling on the trains, children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
Although all volunteers who work on the railway are subject to a DBS check we cannot be responsible for visitors to the site, although we try to be vigilant at all times.
Dogs:
Dogs brought on site remain the responsibility of their owners and must be kept under control at all times and not left unattended at any time. Owners are also responsible for clearing up! Please note that dogs cannot ride on the trains.
