A behind the scenes tour of a beloved heritage railway will take place on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15.
During the Engineering Open Weekend, the Watercress Line will open the doors to all of its stations from Alresford to Alton, giving visitors a rare glimpse inside.
Current restoration projects will be showcased at the 'engineering hub' at Ropley Station, with access to the yard, engineering shed, and carriage shop viewing galleries.
Visitors will also be able to ride on steam trains to all four of the heritage stations along the 10-mile route, with unlimited travel.
The Watercress Line's CEO, Rebecca Dalley, said: "We are looking forward to welcoming visitors to enjoy a tour of discovery at The Watercress Line's Engineering Open Weekend.
"It is wonderful to see the work that is carried out behind the scenes by our wonderful staff and volunteers to keep our heritage railway on track.
"With restoration projects on show, a free tour route, demonstrations, unlimited steam train travel and much more, it promises to be a fascinating day out for everyone."
