Just in time for Christmas… and ready to stand in for Sea Lion at this year’s Santa Trains we are welcoming back our Baguley “Hi De Hi” locomotive.She has been completely rebuilt at the workshops of the North Bay Railway in Scarborough who have done an amazing job, returning to the railway what is effectively a new locomotive.


A lot of thought and consideration has gone into choosing her a name… and it was felt that the one person who isn’t acknowledged at Groudle in any way, is the man who started it all;… Richard Maltby Broadbent who created the glen, zoo, the railway etc in the 1890s, without him there would be no railway.


So we are proud to present… “Maltby”…. who will be in service for our Santa trains starting on the 9th December. Get your tickets now and come and enjoy a ride behind her.

About GGR

Groudle Glen Railway is affectionately known as “The Line that goes Uphill to the Sea."
This unique line was built in 1896 by Richard Maltby Broadbent as part of the new Groudle Glen pleasure grounds.
It ran as a tourist attraction until the early 1960’s when it fell into disrepair, and during the 1970’s the line was scrapped and the rolling stock sold. The line was saved from total extinction by a band of enthusiastic volunteers in 1982, reopening to passengers in 1986. Today the line is a registered Manx charity and still run entirely by an enthusiastic group of volunteers that provides a fun, nostalgic day out for all ages, whilst restoring and maintaining an important piece of Manx railway history for this generation and many more to follow.

A Manx Charity


Groudle Glen Railway is still a Manx Registered Charity, operated solely by volunteers.

The railway relies on train fares, fundraising and generous support and donations from grant organisations, businesses and individuals in order to continue to maintain and restore the line and its historic rolling stock.

Thank you.

Full-time equivalent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) or whole time equivalent ( WTE ) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable [1] across various contexts.
