LOTS OF TRAINS TO RIDE ON!
 
Steam train rides are from Norchard (large free car park here!) to Lydney Junction.
 
If you are coming to see Thomas and travelling to Lydney on the big railway from Gloucester or Newport directions, catch trains to Norchard from our Lydney Junction station which is close to the main line station. Trains call at Lydney Town and St.Mary's Halt stations in each direction, so you can get out for a walk around the park, the lake, or the town itself. Daisy the Diesel also departs from Norchard station.
 
REGULAR STORY TELLING RIDES ON DAISY THE DIESEL!
 
Daisy the Diesel will be running into the forest from Norchard Station for popular story-telling trips to Parkend. Daisy returns to Norchard so you can catch a steam train to Lydney or ride in Toad the Brakevan at Norchard.
 
Three rides and a host of activities all included in the one entrance price. Nothing more to pay!!
