Bit late here but there’s an ongoing event right now at Chasewater Railway today (1st January 2020) who have their Mince Pie Special for New Years Day with a mixture of diesel and steam runnings plus all the usual favourites.

The organisers said:

Come along and see us on New Years Day 2020 for our annual Mince Pie Special.

Two steam and two diesel locos in operation with an hourly timetable from 10.30am.

Pay once and ride all day!

Standard fares apply (Adult £6.50, Child £3.50, Concession £5.50 and family of four £19.50) PLUS a free mince pie!!

Our museum, tea room, model railway, bric-a-brac and shops are all open so come along and join in the fun!

Chasewater Railway is a wonderful attraction with regular passenger services at weekends and during school holidays, featuring two excellent cafes and a fascinating museum that chronicles not just railway history, but that of our area and industry.

The whole thing is staffed by helpful and friendly volunteers who are always ready to chat and talk about the railway and rolling stock.

At Brownhills west station there are also a lovely model railway, plus a couple of great vintage and collectible stalls. The railway itself has a shop selling books, rail models, toys and other merchandise.

Please do pop down if you haven’t already – Chasewater Railway really isn’t pushed enough; it’s wonderful.

You can check their website here – trains run this and every weekend from 11am to 4pm with the museum, cafes and stations open earlier.
