Operations
All operations on the railway are under control of Adam Cowood (since March 2012) who is the Operations Manager. There are four official colour coded timetables which are: Blue, Orange, Green and Red. Blue - 50 Minute Timetable - 1 train. Orange - 50 Minute Timetable until 12:30 where it becomes a Green Service - 1 train until 12:30 then 2 trains. Green - 30 Minute Timetable - 2 trains. Red - 15 Minute Timetable - 4 trains.
The common timetable is the Blue Service, espically during mid-week and off peak seasons while the Orange timetable is during weekends. The Green Service is only when there are two trains ready before 10am or special events where as the Red Service is during special events and certain days (subject to locomotives and train crew).
The first train will always depart Lakeside Station at 10:00am everyday unless on gala days where a special timetable is produced.
The railway is operated by a fleet of seven steam locomotives and five diesel locomotives. Passenger rolling stock consists of nineteen fully enclosed bogie carriages, one articulated set and four open top carriages. Some trains might be able to hold wheelchairs and pushchairs unfolded.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
