Come to Pulborough and ride the steam trains

Welcome to the website of the South Downs Light Railway, Pulborough

Our volunteer run railway is in the Pulborough Garden Centre, Stopham Road, Pulborough, RH20 1DS. Our trains will take you on an exciting trip through the gardens from Stopham Road Station.

Trains run from March to September and are usually hauled by a real coal burning steam engine. It’s great fun for adults and children alike.

The railway started in 2000 and we have carried many thousands of passengers on a journey of just under one mile.

We are always working to improve the railway and have built a new station and ticket office, an engine shed and extended the carriage shed. We plan to add a tunnel. Come and see what we are up to and say hello. We pride ourselves on a friendly welcome.

We have special events throughout the year. Please see elsewhere on the website for details.
