Frimley and Ascot Locomotive Club was given permission to build a miniature railway within the 59 acre Frimley Lodge Park in 1988. By 1990 the one kilometre line was open to the public with train rides on the first Sunday of each month between March and November. The main circuit is multi gauge, ground level and caters for 3 and a half, 5 and 7 and a quarter inch gauge. It is approximately 1km long and is used to give rides to the public as well as for club members’ use. Rail construction is made using rectangular section steel with welded ties on timber sleepers, laid on limestone ballast. Running is clockwise and the minimum radius is 50ft. Inclines are a maximum of 1:80 up and 1:56 down. The volunteers from the Frimley and Ascot Locomotive Club bring their own Locomotives to give pleasure to others with all the proceeds used for the maintenance of the Railway and to benefit local charities. Admission: Single Ride £1 Double Ride £1.50 Family Ticket £10 for up to 14 rides. Opening Times: Park access daylight hours year round. Trains normally run on the first Sunday of each month from March to November. There are additional sessions in August and some Bank Holidays.
