The West Lancashire Light Railway is the county's only narrow-gauge railway. It's a short (400m) 2ft-gauge line created 50 years ago by a group of schoolboys concerned at the loss of industrial narrow-gauge railways in the area. We now have nine steam engines, four of which have been restored to full working order, with more on the way. We also have around two dozen small diesel, petrol and electric locomotives, plus a variety of heritage vans and wagons.
We run steam trains every Sunday between April and October, plus a number of galas and other special events, including Santa Specials.
We would love to meet you - your ticket is valid all day! For more information, see our website at westlancsrailway.org.
