Useful Information & How to Book

Currently we are offering the coach primarily to youth organisations on a Saturday, but welcome families and adult groups subject to minimum charges. We recommend visiting during the running season (Easter to September) but can make accommodation available outside of these date.

We are trying to limit groups to 1 or 2 a month, and we get booked up very quickly.

Bookings are made by email on sleeper@telfordsteamrailway.co.uk, and we recommend a site visit after making a provisional booking.

We are on the approved location list for Girl Guiding Shropshire.
