Coffee Pot Heritage Rail Experience

Enjoy a unique heritage rail experience aboard our authentic Steam Motor Coach No 1.

Affectionately known as the “Coffee Pot”, this Edwardian-era steam railcar is more than 120 years old, and is the last operating example of its type worldwide. The Coffee Pot has been authentically and lovingly restored, and is maintained by our volunteers.

The Coffee Pot Heritage Rail Experience is limited to 22 passengers, who will travel through the heart of the Pichi Richi Pass, and stop en-route for a fully catered and delicious lunch.

We will depart Quorn Railway Station at 12 noon, and return to Quorn at approximately 4.30 pm.

Your ticket includes:

• Welcome drink and canapés
• 3-course lunch with drinks
• Train travel from Quorn to Woolshed Flat and return
