that our train services will restart on that day,
but this will depend on coronavirus restrictions.

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.
