Steam Services cancelled this weekend at Aln Valley Railway

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

In light of the exceptionally dry and hot weather, and following the Government’s Emergency Message issued on Friday 14 August, we have taken the decision to withdraw our steam services this weekend.

The risk of wildfires is currently too great for us to safely operate steam locomotives, and the safety of our visitors, volunteers and the surrounding environment must remain our highest priority.

We sincerely apologise for the short notice and any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause.

All passengers who have pre-booked tickets will have received an email and will be sent a full refund.

***UPDATE*** 15/08/2026 08:34. Volunteers have come forward to crew our Pacer today, so we will be running our Pacer timetable, tickets can only be purchased from the shop on arrival.
We will provide a further update regarding Sunday 16th as soon as possible.

We thank you for your understanding and continued support.

I was too late to get tickets, but judging from the comments…The Vicar of Dibley performed by Alnwick Theatre Club, is a thoroughly good production
