Hobsons Bay Steam Shuttles
Saturday 26 November - sold out, but don't forget our other upcoming day trips
Gather a group of family members, loved ones and friends for a journey with Seven-0-Seven Operations on
'Hobsons Bay Steam Shuttles from Flinders Street Station to Newport and Laverton.
Our last steam hauled excursion trains for 2022
With support from the West Gate Tunnel Project's West Gate Neighbourhood Fund and City of Hobsons Bay join Seven-0-Seven Operations on board our Hobsons Bay steam train shuttles, a community event designed to celebrate the rich transport history of the Hobsons Bay region. Book you tickets here.
This free event will provide local residents and people from across greater Melbourne with the opportunity to experience steam (and heritage diesel) train rides while learning about local transport history and the contemporary rail network across Saturday 26 November. Bring a picnic and swap on to a metro train for Altona Beach or Williamstown, the Williamstown Heritage Beer and Cider Festival, book a cafe or restaurant or just enjoy our heritage rail travel of a day out.
Our air-conditioned train will included both open saloon-type carriages and compartment carriages as well as our famous lounge carriages Club Car 1 and BK708. Cafe Hudson will serve expresso coffee, Devonshire teas and assorted cakes and snacks, as well as offering a full bar service with a selection of ales, wine, sparkling and mixed drinks.
Please note: The Hobson's Bay shuttles are designed to encourage visits to the communities within Hobson's Bay. Bookings that include more than 2 segments will be cancelled. We encourage layovers at Laverton or Melbourne City for Flinders Street
