Skirt Port Phillip Bay by steam with return shuttles from Laverton Station via the 'Altona Loop' for one day only on Sunday 29th March 2026.
These shuttles will travel on a scenic return journey through Melbourne's Inner West and along Port Phillip Bay at Altona hauled one-way by a steam locomotive.
It is anticipated that this will be the last time that we will be able to run a steam train via the Altona Loop due to timetable changes occurring shortly after these shuttles.
Take a seat in our heritage electric 'Red Rattler' Tait train with beautiful wood veneer panelling pressed tin ceilings and opening windows to fully experience the steam era!
Come along for a fun family day out through Melbourne's suburbs.
TICKET OPTIONS
5 x return shuttles will depart Laverton Railway Station at 10:15am 11:15am 12:15pm 2:35pm and 3:35pm.
