Our flagship steam locomotive No. 6 'Mad Bess'—built in our own Woody Bay workshops as a half-scale tribute to the Ffestiniog Railway's Blanche—is scheduled to haul passenger services on the following dates in November 2026:

  • Sunday 8th November 2026
  • Saturday 14th November & Sunday 15th November 2026
  • Saturday 21st November & Sunday 22nd November 2026
  • Saturday 28th November & Sunday 29th November 2026

Green Timetable services depart every 40 minutes between 12:20 and 16:00 from both Woody Bay Station (beside the beach) and Willow Lawn Station (beside the car parks and Turntable Tea Room). Come along and watch Mad Bess being turned on the Willow Lawn turntable between trips!
