Timetables & Fares
at Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway
*Please note* We are undertaking some major repair works on our Camping Coaches in the car park. The next 2 weeks (14th - 25th Sept) the works are expected to be quite loud and messy. Working days will be from approx 7:30 - 18:00, we apologise in advance for any disruption to your day out.
We have implemented a brand NEW timetable for when we re-open. If you plan to visit, you MUST pre-book your tickets online before 9am on your chosen date of travel. We cannot guarantee to sell tickets on the day of travel. Our new timetable gives you the option to pick your departure and return times, however once booked you MUST travel on these trains. Please ensure that you have purchased train times that you are happy with. Single journey tickets are also available.
Customers will be required to wear a face-covering whilst on site at the railway. This face covering must be worn at all times, unless you are medically exempt or under 11 years old, including whilst you are in the carriages. To book a wheelchair you must call us on 01229 717171. Dogs are welcome on board for £1.50 each (not permitted in 1st Class). Unfortunately we cannot take bikes at this time.
Before you purchase tickets please ensure you have picked your train times, picked your carriage and compartment, watched our video and read all of our opening information! This all outlines what you can expect when you visit us.
