GETTING HERE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Puffing Billy Railway's Belgrave Station is accessible by public transport through Metro Trains or the Bus. Click here to view public transport options.
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER
You will be travelling on board a century old steam train that uses coal to fuel the fire and get the locomotive moving! This coal turns into soot and smut and occasionally when sitting in our open carriages can travel through the air and land on your lap or sometimes in your eyes.
We want you to enjoy a scenic ride through the magnificent Dandenong Ranges, so please consider this part of the experience before embarking on your journey. To best avoid the soot and marvel at Puffing Billy's steam, passengers can bring along a pair of sunglasses, goggles, or a hat.
