COMING MAINLINE TRIPS

Saturday 18 September - Seymour for Craft and Produce Market

The rescheduled train will be timed to provide allow a relaxed lunch and a visit to the Seymour Craft and Produce Market held on the 3rd Saturday of each month. The market features many stalls offering the very best of quality arts and crafts, fresh produce, plants and garden supplies, speciality food, and famous regional wines.

Castlemaine - Cancelled

Our planned trip to Castlemaine required the 707 Operations carriages to be stabled in Thompson's Siding for the duration of the layover at Castlemaine. Due to the condition of the sleepers the siding was recently shortened and access is now restricted to track maintenance plant. Unfortunately this means we are presently unable to run to Castlemaine.

Saturday 04 December - Suburban Steam Soiree 2

Our "Suburban Steam Soiree" run last December to Glen Waverley/Flemington Racecourse/Lilydale was booked out and highly appreciated by our passengers and crew. We plan to run a similar trip afternoon/evening trip on Saturday 04 December. The itinerary is being finalised. We promise you it will be "interesting".
