    "Anniversary Open Weekend - Welcome


    Join us for this spectacular weekend as we reunify the Great Central Railway and the Great Central Railway Nottingham for a celebration of the 125th opening of the GCR London Extension. Our Rail Replacement Bus Service will reunify the two halves of our railway with a service between Quorn and Woodhouse Station and Ruddington Station to allow you to explore all of our attractions with one inclusive ticket that is valid for entry to all sites and includes train travel and the reunification bus service. Kids go for a Quid (aged 3-15 inclusive)"
    Lots more detail on the GCR Website.

    Looking forward to this week, couple of questions, which way do the locos face and also is the heritage Center at Mountsorrel and included in the ticket cost? Unless I’ve missed it it’s not clear. Thanks in advance

    As of checking this morning; the current plan is that entrance to the heritage center will be included with the price of the travel ticket. The ticket will be needed if you want to exit the Heritage Centre to go to the café and come back down to the station.

    Something else that I don't think is mentioned on the event page currently, the GCR do permit dogs to ride on the trains (including up the branch) but dogs are not currently permitted on the grounds of the Heritage Center.

    Had a great time over the weekend, so much going on we didn't get to the northern end and instead did the Mountsorrel Heritage Center on the Sunday. My video from across both days...
