About us
Mizens Railway is a passenger-carrying miniature railway situated in a delightful 10-acre site near Woking in Surrey. Click here for address and postcode. Operating on a track gauge of 7¼ inches, the railway provides a choice of runs, the longer one being nearly 1 mile in length. A variety of locomotives are in use, including several steam engines.
Our summer 2019 season has now finished.
Thank you to all who have visited us this year.
We are now Closed
until Easter Sunday, April 12th
On Summer Sunday's we will normally be operating two alternative rides- the shorter "Suburban" and a longer "Miler" or "Highlander" route.
There is always lots to do on the site on both running days and during the week. If you would like to help, please consider becoming a member. Click here for details.

WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS IN OUR TICKET OFFICE AND TEA ROOM - CASH ONLY PLEASE
On running days public access to the site from the car park may be barred until 15 Minutes before we open while we prepare for running and while there may be vehicles moving in the public areas. Car park normally closes around 6pm.
We are unable to carry children under the age of 12 months on the trains, or young children without an accompanying adult.
We reserve the right to cease operations early if the weather is really bad, but in any case we will usually try to run trains until about 4pm on regular running days.
The railway is generally open to the public on Sunday afternoons from the beginning of May until the end of September, plus Thursday afternoons in August. We also run on Easter Sunday and New Year's Day. In addition, several Special Events are held including the very popular Santa Specials in December (for which advance booking is required). For details of running days see Timetable and Fares.
In addition to train rides, the site has many other attractions - see Visitor Facilities.
Mizens Railway takes its name from its original location at Mizens Farm, where the headquarters of McLaren is now located. We moved to our present site in 2000 and held our official opening there in May 2002.
The railway is owned by Woking Miniature Railway Society Ltd and the entire operation is run by volunteer members. For information on joining the Society see Membership.
The Society also has a Modellers Section which builds and operates model railways in a variety of scales and gauges.
