After the NSR line closed down, a small narrow gauge train ran on the site for two years before moving via Suffolk to Trago Mills in Devon.
The carriages from the closed Isle of Mull Railway are also slowly being brought back into service after restoration.
A footbridge links this to Platform 2 where the cafe, a large covered picnic area, signal box and toilets are located.
The railway offers learn to drive a steam train courses, of either a half or full day for individuals or groups.
Children's parties are hosted and the Platform 2 Cafe provides cold refreshments all year around whenever the railway is running.
