Re-opening Arrangements ...

currently the railway is still closed due to the coronavirus lockdown restrictions,

so public access or visits to the site are not yet possible;

we hope to re-open on Sunday 23rd May, and restart our train services,

provided the "roadmap" for relaxing the coronavirus restrictions stays on schedule,
and we look forward to welcoming you then;

meanwhile we are still running some engineering trains,

so please keep clear of our tracks.

CoViD-19 Restrictions

The Middleton Railway regrets that it will be suspending its passenger service from Moor Road to Middleton Park until the start of its 2021 operating season in April. The uncertainty as to what restrictions might follow the lockdown which has been in force since 5th November has made it impossible to plan realistically for running any trains during December or January.

We thank all our visitors during 2020 for their custom, we hope that everyone stays healthy and safe, and we look forward to seeing you all again later in 2021.
