The railway runs steam trains, from the boating lake on Hastings seafront to Rock-A-Nore.

Operator Dan Radcliffe said: “We decided to expand the event this year. As before, boarding will be from Rock-a-Nore Station, near the aquarium, only. We will be running a two train service that departs every 20 minutes between 5.30pm and 8.30pm, with the last train departure at 8.10pm.
