Trains are running again ...
From Sunday 26th July we will be running trains
on Sunday afternoons 1pm until 4pm.
We've made a few changes to how we run;
- marked queueing area off the platform
- maximum of 4 people per coach (same family bubble)
- extra cleaning between trains
- hand sanitizer and wipes available
There is no charge for the train but (cash only) donations to help cover the cost are welcome.

Welcome to the Halton Miniature Railway.
Visiting steam locomotive about to depart Mousetrap Hall station on the 10 minute journey through Runcorn Town Park.
Known throughout the world, the Halton Miniature Railway is open*
Covid-19
Please see temporary timetable above
The track is 7 1/4" gauge, and is almost a mile in length.
Running through a small part of Town Park, the 10 minute journey is a delight for all ages.
Opened in 1979, the railway is run entirely by volunteers, members of the Halton Miniature Railway Society Limited.
There is no charge to ride the train, but donations are welcome to help cover costs.
Trains are normally hauled by one of the Society's petrol locomotives,
but members also bring their own steam and electric locomotives to run.
Please note; children aged 12 years and younger must be accompanied by an adult on the train.
The park has a free children's play area with picnic tables,
and refreshments are available from the Ski Centre next to the main station.
