Enjoy a relaxing journey around Ruislip Lido as the railway winds its way through the beautiful ancient woodland of Ruislip Woods.

Woody Bay Station, the railway's original terminus, is located beside the beach and children's splash pad, making it the perfect starting point for a family day out. 

At the other end of the line is Willow Lawn Station, situated next to the Turntable Tea Room and the car parks. Before the train departs, visitors can watch the locomotive being turned on the railway's turntable, ready for its return journey to Woody Bay. 

All of our trains are wheelchair, pushchair and buggy friendly.

Train services are operated by a varied fleet of steam, diesel and battery-electric locomotives throughout the year. Among them is our popular steam locomotive, Mad Bess, a half-scale replica of the famous Ffestiniog Railway locomotive Blanche, which remains a firm favourite with visitors of all ages.
