Please note if the date is very near, advance ticket sales through the ‘Day Out with Thomas’ website might not be possible.

If this is the case, the site will say so and it’s then a case of contacting the railway directly, or booking through their website.

There are concessions for seniors.

There are family tickets available but unfortunately no set guides for this we can give you. This is because the costings are specific to each railway. No doubt a family ticket will save you money!

Also check each railway for themed activities, every ticket includes Thomas and the Fat Controller but see what else the railway has planned to make the day even better!!
