Ferrymead Railway Running Days

The Railway currently operates each Sunday, and at other times as arranged (such as public holidays). In normal service, steam operates one Sunday per month, diesel locomotives (such as the Diesel Traction Group's DE 1429 or the Ferrymead Railway's TR 156) one Sunday per month, the Vulcan railcars providing the remaining days' services.

During the period October to April the Railway will normally operate each Sunday, with additional Saturday or holiday operations during some periods. During the winter period running is reduced to twice or less per month with the possibility of complete shutdown depending on maintenance requirements. Steam is not normally operated during the winter.
