Learning to drive

25/04/24

This week we had our first train-driving training day for our new volunteers. 

Alex, David, Tom, Brian, and Kepa paid close attention to experienced drivers Jim and Robin, and learnt the basics of how to operate our engines, and had the opportunity to drive “Uncle John” and “Uncle Frank.”. 

While there is still more training to be done, this is the first step for our volunteers to be able to take our visitors on an enjoyable journey at Ness Islands Railway.

The start of a new season!!

We cannot wait to welcome you all back to the railway today.

To get into the spirit of Easter and celebrate our first weekend of the new season we thought it would be fun to organise an Easter Egg hunt.

This will take place from the 29th to Sunday 31st.

There will be a quiz that will guide you on a hunt along the train route with sweeties up for grabs for those that get all the questions right!

The first train is due to leave at 11am. Keep an eye here for any changes to the operation times.

We look forward to seeing you all!

We have a MOO-velous surprise!

Just in time for the 2024 season we are utterly delighted to have Meadow the coo at the railway. Painted by the talented Made by Mrs. B and donated to Highland Hospice by Caley Timber and Building Supplies.

Coo-uld you spot her? Make sure to visit us for the 2024 season from Friday 29th of March!
