Trains will run between 4pm and 9pm each day, departing from the Furnace Sidings Station NP4 9SF. Each trip is expected to last approximately 20 minutes, with a stop on the journey and a wait at Garn-Yr Erw Halt (The Whistle Inn and Park).

Volunteers will transform the Heritage Railway into a spooky ghost train, with visitors passing through the transformed Furnace Sidings station and onto the Whistle Inn with a gaggle of ghoulish characters on board and games for youngsters.
