A 2 foot gauge heritage railway based in Staffordshire. When open we usually run Diesel on Saturdays and Steam on Sundays, for more information, group bookings or special tours, please call us or email us on [email protected].
When visiting family in Stone, Amerton Railway has became a regular destination for the wee train enthusiast. The volunteers on site are great & beyond a ride on the railway. The wee one has had a tour of the workshop & a trip on the engines footplate. Well worth a visit & extremely reasonably priced
The staff was really helpful and welcoming, would recommend to any train enthusiast. Also the ticket includes 2 train rides.
Following the ride behind Isabel, the loco that spent quite a few years mounted on a plinth outside Stafford Station and now back in steam, I was invited for a tour around the engine sheds which was gladly accepted. Thomas, my very knowledgable guide, showed me several locos owned by various members of Amerton plus an old acquaintance. Sitting in the corner of one of the sheds was the 0-4-0 Trentham Express loco awaiting repair. Many years ago, before the railway was removed from service at Trentham Gardens, I worked on the very same locos' engine. Hopefully it will be back in service soon. I managed to snap a few pictures of Isabel and the locos on 'shed' which should give some idea of the railway. Overall, a pleasant visit on a Sunday and the rain mainly stayed away. With very helpful staff members, it's well worth a visit, especially if looking for something to entertain the kids and plenty for them to do on other parts of the centre as well.
Lovely experience even in a foot of snow. Santa and the elves were great and even provided sherry and pressies. A Christmas stream train treat for all
Visited the railway during their annual gala... A fantastic little railway that runs through some lovely countryside... Great photo opportunities... Very family friendly... I would highly recommend a visit whenever they are open...
Lovely little Railway. We were lucky enough to arrive on a Sunday, and at just the time when the Steam Train was about to depart. Having been brought up when Steam was still common, the smell was immediately evocative of our youth, and the first thing we both noticed. A great experience for the kids, and those slightly older..
