Hi We are coming over from NZ and would like to take a ride on Puffing Billy 1st week in August 2016 but want to be sure of a fine day before we book. Is the train busy this time of the year? Is is best to catch the train to Belgrave? Thanks, Dianne

It’s still winter in Melbourne which would be classified as the low season. It is a good time to come as the crowds wont be as busy as in Spring and Summer.

If you are not driving, catch the Belgrave Train from the Melbourne CBD and alight at Belgrave. There is plenty of signage to guide you to the Puffing Billy station. The trip out to Belgrave will take around 70 minutes.

Regards Jess
