Information for booked customers: 5 November – 2 December

Regrettably, the Bluebell Railway has cancelled all planned services from Thursday 5 November to Wednesday 2 December in line with the new national restrictions.

Our customer services department will contact all of our affected customers regarding their bookings. Please be patient, as they have a large number of customers to contact and are working very hard to achieve this as quickly as possible.

The Government has said it will look to return to a regional approach at the end of the four-week period depending on the health data. This means our services from 3 December onward will be kept under review. Currently, we are planning to run these services. We will make further announcements to keep staff, volunteers and customers informed when the situation is clearer.

We thank you for your understanding and in the meantime, please check our website and official Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts for updated information.
