Great Central Railway & Ride

*** To book a place call Charnwood Borough Council 01509 63 4561 *** Come and join us on the Easter Holiday Great Central Railway & Ride. This ride run by Charnwood Borough Council will transport you and your bike on the Great Central Heritage Railway from Quorn to Rothley. After your trip on a vintage steam train we will take you on a leisurely ride back from Rothley to Quorn. We will need you to meet at Quorn station at 9.30am to be sure that you have enough time to meet with our Ride Leaders, take a few pictures and board the steam train ready for a prompt 10.09 departure (the train will not wait for us). A goods carriage will be added to the train for us to store our bikes safely and refreshments will be available to purchase on the train. The train will initially take us south to stop briefly at Leicester North station, before we turn around, and return north for us to alight at Rothley station at approximately 10.55. After collecting the bikes from the goods carriage, we will start our 9.5 mile return ride to Quorn station on a lovely rural route travelling through Swithland village, Swithland reservoir and National Cycle Route 6. There is a charge of £8 per adult and £5 per child to cover the cost of the all-day rail ticket. (This is a discounted rate). Places are limited. Please book your spot now on 01509 63 4561 to secure your place on this ride. For more information on the ride, contact Mat Richardson, Charnwood Borough Council on 07753 309 559.
