Cornish Railway Wins Prestigious Industry Award

The popular Cornish attraction beat off stiff competition to take home the Heritage Railway Association’s Award for Large Groups.

The award, sponsored by Allelys Heavy Haulage, was given due to the work that the Bodmin and Wenford Railway had done to transform its business operations post covid. The railway totally revised its marketing operations to reduce costs, changed its catering operations and moved to pre-booked ticket sales. The changes brought a bumper 55,000 visitors to the railway, as well as sold out Murder Mystery trains and Santa Specials.

Bodmin & Wenford Railway Business Manager, Julie Burley said “We were absolutely delighted to win the award. Especially as we were up against the likes of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway and the Great Western Society, both of which are much larger railways,”

“This award is a testament to all the hard work that the staff and volunteers have put in over the past 12 months. To celebrate this incredible achievement, we are offering customers the chance to buy half price tickets for 29, 30 and 31 March and 3rd April.”

To take advantage of this offer, use the code AWARD2022 as a discount code and it will automatically apply a 50% discount to all tickets. This discount does not apply to dog tickets and the cream tea specials.
