Had a great time on January the 7th at the diesel gala , it was great to be joined by some of my former Irish Rail colleagues. It marked 12 months since I retired from Irish Rail. The amount of work the staff put in here should never be underestimated and the welcome we get here from the volunteers who are now our friends one can never forget. Well done to all concerned and continued success.

A great day at the Easter Eggspress. A little hidden gem in Downpatrick that I had never visited before despite growing up in the area. My husband and son were here on St. Patrick's Day and loved it so we will be back for more events soon!

Absolutely amazing, I'm in no way a train enthusiast but I was very impressed with not only the friendly, enthusiastic staff (who clearly love volunteering here) but also the museum of old railway cars and a vast amount of information & pictures about railways in Northern Ireland. The short train journey was great - the steam train made it. Young & old will love to visit.

Absolutely a brilliant experience. The old carriages and the smell of the steam engine brought back childhood memories. I highly recommend this to anyone and you can visit Inch Abbey after the 10 minute journey. Just don't miss the last train back....

Fantastic day out. Took our 5 year old daughter who enjoyed numerous journeys throughout the day. Cannot speak highly enough of all the volunteers who where just tremendous.

I highly recommend visiting this place. We went for a ride on the beautiful steam train and went into the museum and enjoyed some dressing up. The staff were very knowledgeable and were able to answer all of the questions we had. The entire family enjoyed it; kids, parents, grandparents and dog! Yes, they let us take the dog on the train!
