About

The Heatherslaw Light Railway is a 15 inch (381 mm) gauge passenger carrying railway in Northumberland, England, near the border with Scotland. Founded by Neville Smith, the railway opened in 1989 on the Ford and Etal estate. It operates over a route from Heatherslaw to Etal Village, a little more than 5 kilometres in length. The railway normally operates from March to October inclusive, with an hourly (half-hourly during busy days) train service, but closes for the winter season. The passenger coaches include a facility for accommodating a wheel chair, and a typical summer season eight-coach train can convey up to 100 passengers.
