Welcome to the Halton Miniature Railway. 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 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.
Open to all
Our aim is to have trains running 1pm until 4pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, March until October, depending on the availability of volunteers.
During August we will also run Thursday afternoons – 1pm until 4pm
Please check our Facebook page for the latest information or call Runcorn Ski Centre after 12:30pm on the day to confirm if we are running.
Town Park, Palace Fields, Runcorn, Cheshire WA7 6PT
