Private Charters and Tour Groups

For ultimate flexibility and customisation hire a train for your group, event, or production!

Charter a Train on the Glenbrook Vintage Railway

This is our most popular and best value option for groups and events. Immerse yourself in the historic setting at Glenbrook Station where your vintage Steam or Diesel train will begin the journey. A perfect option for weddings, birthdays, reunions, corporate events, retirement village outings, coach tours, and more! Each carriage can seat from 25 to 55 people each, and each train can seat anywhere up to 400 people at once. Available carriages include vintage flip-over seat carriages, a lounge carriage, and dining carriage. We're available to charter most days of the year with a timetable that suits you. We can even supply a knowledgeable host, or arrange catering! Get in touch with us at [email protected] to discuss options for your group or event.

For smaller groups and functions, you can exclusively hire a carriage attached to our Steam Train Experience for the day. Find out more...
