Great Cockcrow Railway
Facilities at the Railway…

 

Car Parking

 

Car parking at the railway is free of charge. The car park can get muddy at certain times of the year. Please ask a member of staff if you have difficulty.

Ticket Office

The ticket office is located next to the main platforms at Hardwick Central Station. The building is ex-Ravenscourt Park on the London Transport District Line. As well as tickets, the office stocks a few souvenirs such as postcards, books and videos.

When purchasing tickets it’s a good idea to ask for the best combination to suite your needs. Most people opt for a “double” ticket. This allows you to have two rides as we normally offer two routes (the red route and the green route). You will see there are two queues . One marked red and one marked green. If you have time we recommend you purchase a double ticket and have two rides. You will need to queue again for the second ride.

In addition you can purchase family-of-four tickets (2 adults and 2 children) for  single or double set of rides.

Double ride and family of four tickets always work out cheaper than buying single tickets.

Gladesman:                         £4.50 per person

Ordinary Return Journey:      £3.00 adult and £2.50 child
