Tickets are now on sale for Wensleydale Railway’s 2024 operating season, with prices held at 2023 levels. The railway has decided not to increase its ticket prices this year, despite facing the challenge of rising costs. In a move designed to improve value to customers and support its local community, its price-freeze also includes its popular Fish & Chips Trains and Afternoon Tea train events.
The railway ran several trains during the February half-term holiday, but its full running season officially begins on 2 March and runs until 20 October. November and December will see the return of The Polar Express Train Rides.
Nick Keegan, Fundraising and Marketing Manager at Wensleydale Railway said: “We are pleased to be able to keep all our scheduled train services, and our special food & drink events trains, at 2023 prices. Despite rising costs being the norm, we recognise the constant pressure that price increases place on our customers’ wallets. By keeping our train tickets at last year’s prices, we hope that this continues to make a visit to our railway an attractive leisure activity for our visitors.”
He added: “our ‘kids-for-a-quid’ travel offer continues this year. This allows children to travel for only £1.00 on all our normal scheduled train services (excluding events). We also offer a 25% travel discount to our local residents. Combining these offers give local families a great value day out on our volunteer-led heritage railway!”
