"Easter Eggspress"- Train 1 - Dublin - Drogheda & Return

Easter Eggspress - Train 1

To celebrate the Easter weekend, we are delighted to invite you to join us on board our Easter Eggspress special.

Hauled by our beautifully restored steam locomotive No.171 Slieve Gullion we will depart from Dublin Connolly station at 10:45 and travel out through the North Dublin suburbs of Raheny, Malahide, cross the Broadmeadow and Rogerstown Estuaries, skirt the coastline between Skerries, Balbriggan and Laytown before arriving in Irelands biggest town Drogheda. The amazing sight and sounds of our train will delight young and old.

Each child ticket includes a small Easter Egg which will be distributed during the journey. Children Under 2 do not need to purchase a ticket if they are sitting on their parent / guardian's lap. However, they will not receive an Easter Egg, please purchase a child's ticket if you require the space and Easter Egg (we are happy for you to bring one along too for the little one!).

On arrival at Drogheda at approximately 11:45, all passengers must alight the train for the afternoon in the town. The town has many cafés, bars and restaurants to enjoy the afternoon. There are plenty of historic sights to see and walk around this interesting town along the banks of the River Boyne. Maybe even consider a trip to Funtasia in Drogheda!

We have a snack car on board and for the adults a full bar serving draught Guinness and selection of beers, wines, spirits and much more. Great craic is guaranteed.

Our departure back to Dublin will be at 16:15 from Drogheda station, with an arrival into Connolly for 17:30.

P lease note that as with all our steam specials, we endeavor to operate this special with our advertised steam locomotive. We only have one operational locomotive available, therefore in the event of a failure of this locomotive or in a period of hot and prolonged dry weather, we may have to substitute the steam locomotive with a diesel locomotive. Please make all aware of this when booking tickets, as tickets will not be refunded in this instance.
