My child and I thoroughly enjoyed the dinosaur-themed train ride. The journey on the historic train and arrival at Inch Abbey station was a blast. The special dinosaur show for children was captivating and had everyone enthralled. We'd love to return for more events like this. The history museum and railway galleries were also absolutely stunning. I highly recommend bringing your children to such wonderful activities.

Best 2 days of my life coming here! The preservation of the rolling stock of Ireland here is amazing with so many locomotives, wagons and coaches it is one of the best places for an Irish rail fan to go. I went on the diesel gala and the heritage weekend and it was brilliant. Seeing the currently only working 121 class, A class A39r, 458 617 and 146 running almost made me cry seeing them. The volunteers were nice and helpful and the journey was amazing for only 2 miles to Inch Abby it was still wonderful and for being the only 5”3 gauge railway in Ireland it holds a special place in my heart.

This is such an amazing heritage railway! We went today for the Shamrock Express train and it did not disappoint! The staff were all super friendly and made loads of chat with us about trains. I was even given a cab ride which was amazing. The whole railway was really well maintained and the trains - although definitely worn - are still in great working order (well, some of them at least). I would really recommend a visit and supporting the railway is crucial for it to improve and get steam trains running again. I will certainly come again!

A great day at the Easter Eggspress. A little hidden gem in Downpatrick that I had never visited before despite growing up in the area. My husband and son were here on St. Patrick's Day and loved it so we will be back for more events soon!

Absolutely amazing, I'm in no way a train enthusiast but I was very impressed with not only the friendly, enthusiastic staff (who clearly love volunteering here) but also the museum of old railway cars and a vast amount of information & pictures about railways in Northern Ireland. The short train journey was great - the steam train made it. Young & old will love to visit.
