| Please note: |
Thomas likes to sit in the platform rather than pulling your train as he thinks more of you can see his footplate then. He has asked one of his best friends to do the job of pulling your train to Birkhill. He'll toot you when you pass!
We regret that dogs (except Guide Dogs) are not permitted at this event.

Disabled spaces are reserved at both stations, and Bo'ness Station has a disabled toilet. All trains are equipped with ramps for easy wheelchair access. Wheelchair users should book tickets in Coach F and then call us on 01506 825855 so we can reserve space for them and their party in our specially adapted coach.
