You can travel in carriages lovingly restored to their original Victorian magnificence from the award-winning Stately Trains fleet. A bus link between Bolton Abbey station and Bolton Abbey Village and Priory also operates today. Trains will be hauled by steam engines from our collection (subject to availability). The normal service train will feature restored ex-BR Mk.I carriages (dating from the 1950s and 60s) from our fleet. The First Class train will be made up from the three Victorian 6-wheeled carriages from the Stately Trains fleet, GER No.14, GNoSR No.34 and GER No.37, and operates in addition to the normal steam train service, as shown on the timetable below. These carriages were built to haul VIPs or First Class passengers, and one of these is reputed to have been the private saloon of Princess Alice. Bus Link to the Priory A Heritage Bus Service (operated by Keighley Bus Museum) links Bolton Abbey station to the Village and Priory, using an Open Top Double Deck Bus (subject to availability and weather conditions). Services link in with the trains and run every 45 minutes between 11:00 and 16:15 from Bolton Abbey station; and between 11:15 and 16:30 from the Village Car Park. Tickets can be purchased on the bus or from the ticket offices with your train tickets.
