Halloween Ghost Trains — Swanage Railway

The fun does not stay on the train: passengers hop off at Corfe Castle Station for Halloween activities and crafts, including slime-making, before climbing back aboard to continue the journey.

It also includes Freedom of the Line, unlimited travel that day on the railway's other standard services, which the operator suggests combining with parking at Norden and travelling to Swanage by train.
