Description

This hidden gem only 40 minutes drive from Glasgow and Edinburgh is located in the historic town of Bo’ness. Our friendly staff will welcome you aboard one of our beautiful steam or heritage diesel trains from days of old and wish you a pleasant journey.

The train travels along the shore of the River Forth with views of the majestic Ochil hills, before it climbs a tree-lined gradient passing beautiful woods, wild ﬂowers and waterfalls and arrives at Birkhill. Alight here to experience the Fireclay Mine or take a stroll in the ancient woodlands of the Avon Gorge.

Beyond Birkhill, travel on the new section of line across the River Avon Viaduct to Manuel beside the Edinburgh to Glasgow railway line. This stretch of line opened in 2010 thanks to the amazing hard work and dedication of the volunteers who run the railway.

At Bo’ness visit the Scottish Railway Exhibition, our museum dedicated to Scotland’s railways. Have a go at operating a railway signal and points, climb aboard and get close to historic locomotives and take the time to sort some letters in the Travelling Post Office.
