The Jumbo Express

Dates: 26 Dec 2008 - 1 Jan 2009

Time: Times available at station

Take a ride on one of our two impressive steam engines, Excelsior and Superior, as they weave their way through the territories of some of the world's most inspiring animals.

Jumbo Express
Elephants, rhinos, camels and zebras are just a few of the mammals you can expect to meet on your Jumbo Express journey. With our exciting new commentary, we will take you on a safari adventure you will never forget.

Asked why people love the trains so much, driver and engineer Kevin Edwins said: “It’s the sheer magic of a steam-hauled railway, people love to hear the whistle and see the smoke - very few zoos have them.”

Please check at the station for times and prices on the day of your visit
