Enjoy an evening ride aboard a vintage steam train

This annual and unique event is a highlight of the Watercress Line calendar. The steam train will make one round trip along the line, travelling 20 miles through the countryside over the “Hampshire Alps” on (hopefully!) a lovely summer evening.

The train will consist of five coaches, carrying around 200 passengers, typically running at around three-quarters capacity for a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. Railway buffets and shops will be open, along with an onboard train buffet.

At Ropley, there will be a run-past where passengers can detrain to watch the locomotive steam through the station. There will also be a pre-arranged draw for six rides on the engine’s footplate.

All family and friends are welcome.
