Around the railway in 30 seconds!

We needed to turn Chiltern Shuttle's tender round the other day; although easiest to just turn it on the turntable we had a look and thought "you could film an interesting video if you put a camera in the footwell"...

So here is a track level view of a trip around most of the railway. We have sped it up to just 30 seconds, but don't worry, our trains will still take around 6 minutes to go around when you visit!

Happy Wednesday! We're half way through the May half-term 📆

We thought this was a good opportunity to remind all of our passengers and visitors to please read and respect our safety rules.

You'll find the big red safety signs at the entrance gates and along the platforms. We also have the yellow signs at the ends of all of the coaches!

⚠️ Safety on any railway is incredibly important and the rules are there to keep everyone safe! We are very similar to any big railway, just because our trains are a bit smaller, they are not a toy and it doesn't mean you can't get hurt or have an accident.

So please help make sure everyone is safe by following the safety rules, this includes adults, children and dogs!

Thank you from the WMR Team 🚂
