As you travel between Normanton and Croydon, you’ll see the landscape change from wetlands teeming with wildlife to vast tracts of grasslands and arid Savannah country.
Affectionately known as the “Old Tin Hare”, the award-winning Gulflander provides expert commentary about the history of this fascinating region as the train takes you “from nowhere to nowhere”.
