Elsecar Heritage Railway Transport

The Elsecar Heritage Railway is made up of a group of volunteers committed to the preservation, restoration and expansion of a preserved railway in South Yorkshire. EHR Volunteers carry out all duties on the railway, from driving the engines to maintaining the track.

The Railway operates trains on Sundays from Easter to November, plus selected Saturdays and other dates. Cream Tea Specials operate on Wednesdays throughout the summer, please see the website for more details. Santa Specials also operate in December.
