They also operated miniature railways in Stokes Bay, Bognor Regis and Southsea.

Poole Borough Council ended their tenancy agreement with Chris Bullen in 2017, ordering that the historic track be removed before tenders for a new operator would begin on 1 March 2017.

The council, after backlash from the public and the media, then said that the track may remain in place until after the tendering process.

Subsequently, the Borough of Poole were unconvinced that the railway CIC could operate the railway safely, following a derailment in May 2018 and the walk out of Friends of Poole Park,[9] the concession was withdrawn and the CIC issued with a 'Notice to Quit' in July 2018.

The Railway re-opened September 2022 and is run by BCP Council supervisory staff alongside a team of volunteers.
