South Downs Light Railway — Local services in Horsham

What a great find, was looking for something to do with my 3 year old grandson and stumbled across this gem. We thought it would only be a short quick ride on a miniature railway as it is set up at a garden centre, how wrong were we. The volunteers that run it are so friendly and enthusiastic they help make the day special. The day we went they had more than one train running, the trains go up hills across bridges and through tunnels.

My grandson absolutely had the day of his life ( so did we to be honest) It also made a change they thought about the visitors and the cost. It was fantastic value we bought the 4 ride savers which was £4.50 for children aged between 4 and 14, and 2 adult 4 ride saver at £6.00 each. Or you could buy single tickets at £1.50 and £2.00.

We have been to the Bluebell Railway before but that unfortunately has got so expensive and to be honest to see the smile on my grandson face and the excitement he had the whole day we spent here I think this is the place we will definitely be heading...

It was an absolute delight to visit the railway. The staff were very friendly and organized, and the whole journey was filled with wonderful little things to enjoy and spot, such as dinosaurs, stone cats and hedgehogs, beautiful flowers, a Teddy in the station box, and, of course, an amazing dark tunnel which my daughter thought was very exciting.

It is such a lovely place to visit and it is clear to see the staff really care about the trains and the experience for visitors.

Well worth the drive down...

My son loves the steam train it’s a regular visit request from him. I really hope it continues! The fare is very reasonable! I’d also happily pay more if it ment that investment could be spent on the ornaments around the track. Also, I’m sure local people would happily donate items to make that journey a bit more magical.

Keep up the good work, the staff are always welcoming and friendly. It’s a...
