Magic Journey on 6989 Wightwick Hall

A rare opportunity to travel behind Wightwick Hall 6989!

Enjoy a special trip with this magical engine.

The heritage steam locomotive Wightwick Hall will play the role of the iconic Hogwarts Express in the highly anticipated Harry Potter television series.

Steam locomotive Wightwick Hall BR (WR) 4-6-0 5MT 6989 was salvaged from Barry Island scrapyard in January 1978 by Buckinghamshire Railway Centre volunteers. It then went through a meticulous restoration process, spanning over forty years. Having once been bound for scrap metal, this beautiful loco will now have the privilege of stepping up to play one of the most well-known steam locomotives in the world, and this collaboration will ensure its future for many years to come.

For three days only, Wightwick Hall 6989 will run these special services at The Watercress Line.

This experience is one return journey on the train from Alresford to Alton.

Booking is essential.
