The Easter Eggspress. It's egg-sactly what your egg-cited kids egg-spect you to take them on this Easter Sat, Sun & Mon.
Sorry for the egg-ceptionally bad puns. It won't happen again.
That's all yolks. (Sorry)
A normal train service will also run at the usual times and fares on both days for those who wish to visit the railway but not ride on the Easter Eggspress train.
Tickets are non-refundable, however should you wish to move your booking to another train, please email advancebooking (a) ruisliplidorailway.org and we will do our best to accommodate your needs, subject to availability. The event is due to take place even if it rains and we have contingency plans in place for if the weather is poor.
