Diesel Multiple Unit Train Ride Through Dean Forest!

A heritage diesel railcar journey in the Forest of Dean with a Railway 200 theme. There will be an on-board display with information on Railway 200, the history of the Dean Forest Railway, the heritage railcar and the role of railways today. A family event with activities for children.

Enjoy a relaxing journey along the Dean Forest Railway, sampling what we have to offer with a return journey along half the line at half the normal price! Looking for something a little extra? Add a takeaway bacon roll, sausage bap or sausage & bacon baguette with a hot drink, available for pickup from Whistles Cafe before your train ride.

Trains depart Norchard Station (GL15 4ET) on the hour (first departure at 10:00, last at 15:00), with the return from Parkend departing at half past the hour (first at 10:30, last at 15:30). Tickets allow you to either stay on the train for the 45 minute return trip, or travel from Norchard to Parkend and return on a later train, or travel for longer throughout the day if you want to.

Please get in touch before booking if you are looking to do the trip the other way around (Parkend-Norchard return) – please note that there is no parking available at Parkend Station, whereas Norchard Station has a large, free car park.

Don’t forget to visit our shop, museum and cafe at Norchard Station, which are open all day (although the cafe closes after the last trip departs).
