The Phantom Flyer at Downpatrick and County Down Railway

About

After almost a year of no operations after the disastrous floods, it is with pleasure that we announce Downpatrick & County Down Railway in Downpatrick will be running trains once again this month as The Phantom Flyer rolls into town on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 October, will you join us?

Since the vanquishing of Count Magnus twelve months ago, the railway has been as quiet as the grave. But all of that is about to change. The veil between worlds will be torn apart as ancient spirits set their sights on Downpatrick once again. Malevolent monsters, zombies, spooks and apparitions will walk the tracks and carriages.

We know just who to call – legendary ghost and vampire hunting expert Van Helsing, but he can’t do it alone.

That’s where you come in! Will you join us to take back our railway from these ghostly fiends? Hop on the Phantom Flyer, Northern Ireland’s favourite Halloween Scream Train, if you’re a brave spook hunter to help our brave guardian chase away this ancient mischief from our tracks. But be careful; the line between being a hero and becoming a zombie’s snack is very thin!

This Halloween, we invite kids, families and anyone who loves a ghoulish adventure to join us on the Phantom Flyer. Don your darkest Halloween outfits to fit in with your mysterious fellow passengers and together, we shall face the darkness that lurks in Downpatrick’s historic railway.

Trains depart Downpatrick each day at 14:00, 15:15 and 16:30.

Face painting with Kaz-a-Doodle is included in the price for kids!
