I’ve apparently reached the stage of life where I need a complete list of the UK’s permanently located ghost trains. Some people take up running. I want to trundle through a dark shed while a skeleton makes a noise at me.
Can you help me check my list?
I mean the traditional funfair rides where you sit in a little carriage and travel through dark rooms full of monsters, skeletons and questionable wiring. They don’t have to be called “Ghost Train” — Horror Hotel, Terror Castle and similar all count. Gentle children’s versions count too. My standards for terror are accommodating.
They must stay at the same venue, although seasonal opening is fine. So piers, seaside fairgrounds, theme parks, museums and small family attractions all qualify. Not travelling fairs, walk-through haunted houses or Halloween events on ordinary railways.
The list so far is below. Do you know one I’ve missed? Or, equally useful, have I included one that has closed, moved or become a café?
Please share the name, venue and town — especially if you’ve seen it operating recently. Local knowledge very welcome before I embark on a pilgrimage to an empty shed.
