The trains are owned by a charitable trust and are driven and maintained by volunteers. The main station is located at the Ashbourne Road/Queensway entrance to the park, next to the old army buildings and car park. Trains run every twenty minutes to the Mundy Play Centre; the journey is about three quarters of a mile long.
