Railway to heaven

Beautiful scenery, heritage steam & diesel locomotives & lunch too! A great day out for a rail enthusiast but also great fun for all the family. The santa specials are a favourite with my wee cousins.

Steam railway Journey

As soon as we entered the Station we were well looked after I was in a Powered Wheelchair and my Sister was using elbow crutches, when the train arrived at the platform the station guard had me positioned at the right spot on the platform, where we were to enter the guards van, the train guard fixed up the ramp, and with me using a powered wheelchair I had no problem entering the van, my sister brother in law, and I were given free tea, coffee, and shortbread, which was most enjoyable

Steam train trip.

Old fashioned carriages but the staff put out a ramp for me to board.if in a chair you would have to sit in the guards van but there are Windows and no charge for you or carer .If you can walk once you are on board I parked my walker by my seat. The disabled person gets a reduced fare and the carer goes free. The staff offered me a wheelchair to get along the platform to board then to get back to the car.

We have a specially adapted accessibility carriage for standard travel, a wheelchair can access this carriage via a ramp and remain seated in their wheelchair within the carriage. Unfortunately our catering carriages are not accessible to wheelchairs, this is due to the design of these heritage coaches.

If you are able to transfer to a seat at a table, in the accessibility carriage, we can serve you in this carriage. Please call 01479 810725 or email enquiries@strathspeyrailway.co.uk to arrange.

We have our own private car park, it is free to park. Find our car park behind Aviemore Station, on Dalfaber Road, PH22 1PY. At the South end of Aviemore, at the mini roundabout, turn up the ski road (direction Coylumbridge). Take the first left, go past the Old Bridge Inn, past the bridge, come to a slope on the left, with a sign that says ‘Strathspey Railway’ drive up this slope and continue to our car park. Cross the level crossing onto our platform - Platform 3. This is a must for those with mobility issues as there is no accessible route, to platform 3, from the front of the station (bridge with steps)
