About the event
6.30pm to 9.30pm, Wednesday 11 June 2025
The Farnborough Group would like to invite you on a journey on the watercress steam train.
This is an annual event on The Watercress Line run every June by the Woking & Guildford Group of the railway. Boundless members are always invited.
The steam train leaves Alresford Station at 19.30 for a return trip over the line - some 20 hilly miles. The train returns to Alresford around 21.15.
A June evening travelling through the Hampshire countryside should be memorable on the newly restored Canadian Pacific Locomotive. There will be Railway shops open at stations as well as a buffet at Alresford. There will also be a buffet on the train serving refreshments (cold) and beverages plus alcoholic drinks!
There should be a pre-drawn raffle for 6 separate footplate rides on the engine plus a run past at Ropley station where everybody detrains to watch the train steam through the station - a unique event in the Railway calendar.
There is parking available at Alresford Station.
Please contact David Pegg to book.
