GCRN - Rushcliffe Halt

19/07/2026

What do they say about waiting for buses?
You wait ages for them and two come along at once.....but great to see an original South Notts bus back on the No.1 Route as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations.

Rushcliffe Halt is open today for East Leake Open Gardens - so see the largest wild flower garden in the village for yourself!...

Last chance to see Tornado at Rushcliffe Halt! (at least for this visit anyway).

This weekend (Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June) sees the last runs of Tornado on the GCRN before it departs to entertain people elsewhere in the Country. As was demonstrated over the Flying Scotsman event, Rushcilife Halt is a great venue to come and watch Tornado pass through, with Tornado expected at around 12:50 and 15:50 each day.

Platform tickets are just £2

(We have ongoing challenges with our ability to take e-payments, so please bring good old-fashioned cash!)

...and so the sun has set on the visit of Flying Scotsman and Tornado to the Great Central in Nottinghamshire.

7 days, and 36 trains later it has been a joy to welcome so many to Rushcliffe Halt and provide the setting for many happy memories to be made. Thank you for visiting - hopefully see you again soon.
..and we also must give heartfelt thanks to Britsh Gypsum Saint Gobain and Rushcliffe Golf Course for supporting the station for the event and throughout.

A very big THANK YOU to all the visitors over the weekend to Rushcliffe Halt to take advantage of the fantastic vantage point the station offers to see Flying Scotsman over the hot Bank Holiday Weekend.

For those that want to see the iconic Flying Scotsman, it is not too late. It will be also running Saturday (30th) and Sunday (31st) this coming weekend.

Flying Scotsman is expected at the station between 09:20 – 09:30, 11:20 – 11:30, 13:20 – 13:30, 15:20 – 15:30 and 17:20 – 17:30.
Free parking (thanks to British Gypsum Saint Gobain and Rushcliffe Golf Course), light refreshments and just £3 for a platform tickets for those over 12.

Don't put it off - this is the last weekend to see Flying Scotsman running on the Great Central in Nottinghamshire (at least for this visit) - and hopefully it won't be 62 years before it returns!
