Following discussion with the local Chief Fire Officer and after careful consideration of the risk to staff and guests as well as our health and safety obligations, we have decided that we are not prepared to put our staff or customers onto the diverted section of track. The advice we have received is that we would not outrun a fire should one start in the current conditions.
Your safety is our number one priority. The rest of the Queen Charlotte Track is unaffected and we are confident you will still have a wonderful experience. For any customers affected, please contact us with any questions and we will run through the specifics of your trip and the options around the diversion at your briefing.
