The Groudle line

Lhen Coan is the Groudle Glen Railway's main station. The Lhen Coan Station can be reached after a short walk through the glen. The station features a replica of the original 1896 canopy building. The platform area contains the ticket booth and a souvenir shop. The locomotive shed and work shops are also located here.

The only intermediate halt is named after the kiln which is visible on the left hand side of the line. Passengers who wish to board must give a clear hand signal to the train and passengers wishing to alight should have given previous notice to the guard.

The re-built station building serves refreshments and makes a quiet area for a pleasant picnic in the summer months. It is relaxing to sit and observe the flora, fauna and passing ships. The remains of the zoo complex can be seen at the side of the cliff.
