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:
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
“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)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
