Mr Gardiner also said, “Tickets cost £5.50 adults, £5.50 children (including egg), £4 children aged below three years old (including egg), and £4.50 senior citizens.  There’s no need to book and a ticket lasts all day.” For further information, log on to the railway’s website at www.downrail.co.uk or on www.facebook.com/downrail]]>
