Please note that access to your seats on board is usually limited before departure, as the train spends only a short time in the station between trips.
You're welcome to bring decorations to display in your compartment or on your table. For safety and preservation reasons, only Blue Tack is permitted - no tape or pins please.
If you'd like to bring a birthday cake, that is absolutely fine; however, candles are not permitted on board.
Yes, you are able to bring your own food & drink on the train if you wish. However, there is a cafe at the station, and you're welcome to bring any items you've purchased there with you on board.
There is limited storage space on board the train, and pushchairs will generally need to be folded to fit through the train doors. We recommend folding them before boarding to make access easier.
If you are unable to fold your pushcair, a Fox & Edwards representative will guide you on the day to where you can leave it whilst you are on the train.
There are limited toilet facilities available on board the train. However, the main toilets, including accessible facilities, are located at Abergiwli Junction Station.
Due to the age of the heritage carriages and their fixed seating arrangement, we are unable to seat wheelchairs and mobility scooters in the main carriages.
However, if you are able to transfer we will happily provide assistance for you to board the train and allocate you the most appropriate seating so that you can comfortably enjoy your journey. Please contact our enquiries team at [email protected] to arrange this.
The number of people a compartment ticket for is the maximum allowed in that compartment. However, we do allow one additional young child, beyond the stated maximum.
For larger groups, we recommend booking open-style seating to be seated together, or purchasing multiple compartments. While we can't guarantee it, we'll do our best to allocate compartments next to each other if they are booked in the same order.
