Diesel Saturdays

Heritage Diesel hauled train services through the Angus Countryside

Rekindle some forgotten memories or create new ones and see what it was really like to travel in days gone by with our fleet of mainline heritage diesel locomotives and carriages. You can start your journey at either our terminus station in the small town of Brechin of our countryside stop at Bridge of Dun, located about 3 miles west of Montrose.

In the interests of safety and security, please be aware that we DO NOT allow any public access to our storage sheds, workshops or onto the track/lineside. All visitors must remain on the platforms and other specified public access areas at all times.

For general information, including food outlets, our gift shop and more, please see our FAQ page.
