St. Thomas Train FAQs

WHERE ARE THE TRAINS?
​The trains live at the Port Stanley Terminal Rail in Port Stanley Ontario. Here at the L&PS Station in St. Thomas we usually offer train rides from our downtown location to Parkside for special events.  There is no regular schedule for the train to London or Port Stanley.

​Check our EVENTS CALENDAR for info on upcoming train rides.
How much does a train ride cost?
When the train runs from the L&PS Station for special events, tickets are usually provided at NO COST courtesy of Railway City Tourism and the St. Thomas Economic Development Corporation and/or other sponsoring groups. 

Sometimes there are ticketed events on the train that are usually accompanied by food, drink and entertainment. ​
Why doesn't the train run to London or Port Stanley?
The train does not run form St. Thomas to Port Stanley or London on the regular as it is run by a volunteer rail tourism organization, the Port Stanley Terminal Rail. They are not a transit company. Its current purpose is for tourism due to the track’s historic nature. 

Currently, the tracks end at Kains Street in St. Thomas, the connection to London having been removed many years ago.
Will there be a train running to London or Port Stanley in the future?
​The train tracks are named “L&PS” (for London and Port Stanley) due to their historic roots. Their current purpose is for scenic tours along the tracks starting in Port Stanley and special events held separately in St. Thomas. The physical tracks end at Kains Street in St. Thomas (just past the L&PS Station). We do not know what the future holds for future rail connections or service.
WHY IS THE STATION HERE?
The L&PS Station is home to Railway City Tourism ("Hi everybody!"), the tourist information centre open year-round. It was originally built by the St. Thomas Homebuilders as a replica to the station that was in this very same spot, but torn down in the 1960s. It's original purpose was as a part of the international plowing match held in St. Thomas in 2010 before being rebuilt at the original location of the station that was torn down. Railway City Tourism moved inside in 2013.
