Puffing Billy Railway (Melbourne, Australia)



Address: 1 Old Monbulk Road, Belgrave, VIC 3160
Tel: +61 3 9757 0700





Puffing Billy Railway is the most popular steam train in Australia! It operates everyday, except on Christmas. I have been yearning to ride this and I finally got the chance to do so! Doesn't it reminds you of Harry Potter? The best part about this ride is that we are allowed to leave our legs dangling over the side of the carriage!

Before heading down, remember to check the timing it departs or arrives at the various stations so that you can plan your trip! Apparently, the schedule from 1 Oct 2016 to 30 April 2017 is available at its website already!





J & I drove to Puffing Billy Railway and bought the tickets at the counter there! We travelled from Belgrave station to Lakeside station to have our lunch, took a stroll around the park and headed back to Belgrave station again. Here are the photographs!


We parked our car behind as there was no available parking lots near the main entrance. It was the person at the ticket booth who told us about this FREE parking space! It is quite hard to spot it so keep your eyes wide open if you intend to drive here!


We were here in September so this is the time table we followed.

A mini shop that sells snacks, drinks and souvenirs.




The train conductor was adding coal to prepare for the journey!





And off we go!!!








Upon reaching our destination, we headed into the shop to have our lunch!


This eatery sells a pretty wide range of food, from chips to sandwiches to burgers and pizzas too!



Fish and Chips and nuggets!

Time for a walk around the vicinity while waiting for our train to arrive!









Time to depart!





That's all for Puffing Bill Railway! I really enjoyed the ride and I strongly recommend this place to everyone! :)


P.S. More posts coming up soon!



Love,
