train of lights, emerald lakeside to gembrook
/
This winter the Puffing Billy Railway is set to illuminate the Dandenong Ranges up with brilliance AGAIN! The Train Of Lights will be a special NIGHT service from Lakeside to Gembrook which features a spellbinding travelling light show. Partnering up with acclaimed lighting production company, Resolution X, Puffing Billy Railway’s Train of Lights will bring to life a moving light show like no other.
From Friday 23 June to Sunday 9 July (that’s all throughout the winter school holidays), rug up the kiddos and climb aboard this magical journey. There will be wild animal projections, bright lights all along the carriages, patterns sent glowing into the forests - a real sight to behold! Departing at 6 pm daily from Lakeside Station, the Train of Lights will embark on a two-and-a-half-hour return journey that chugs along the historic narrow-gauge track to Gembrook.
After a scenic ride, the train arrives at the Gembrook Station for a 55-minute stopover. Here, you can warm up by the crackling open fire pits and sip on a comforting hot chocolate, listen to the sounds of a live musician, capture a photo with the beautifully lit-up train or the friendly Puffing Billy Railway volunteers who make the experience all the more special.
Ticketholders can pre-book from the Railway Café’s dine-in Burger & Beer special or for those with little ones, the chicken nuggets, chips, and juice meal deal is a quick and easy option that is sure to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.
Grazing box and picnic blanket sets are also available to pre-order, allowing you to savour a selection of delectable treats while staying nice and warm during the journey. Pre-booking is essential for these meal deals, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
