• Skirt Port Phillip Bay by steam, with return shuttles from Laverton Station via the 'Altona Loop' for one day only on Sunday 29th March 2026.

  These shuttles will travel on a scenic return journey through Melbourne's Inner West and along Port Phillip Bay at Altona, hauled one-way by a steam locomotive.

• It is anticipated that this will be the last time that we will be able to run a steam train via the Altona Loop due to timetable changes occurring shortly after these shuttles.

• Take a seat in our heritage electric 'Red Rattler' Tait train, with beautiful wood veneer panelling, pressed tin ceilings and opening windows to fully experience the steam era!

• Come along for a fun family day out through Melbourne's suburbs.
