Experience the nostalgia of this unique Heritage Steam Railway for a five and a half mile round journey. The route winds gently through some of North Staffordshire's most picturesque countryside to the peaceful woodland halt of Dilhorne Park, before returning back to Caverswall Road Station. An extension to the railway is due to open soon and passengers will be able to experience the steep gradients that make Foxfield unique.

Caverswall Road Station is home to over 30 preserved steam and diesel locomotives, making it the largest collection in Staffordshire. Many are used for passenger service trains with a different locomotive nearly every week.
