If the weather is extremely bad trains may be cancelled on the day of the run. If this occurs, we will endeavour to let you know as soon as we can but due to the variability of Melbourne weather, we may not be able to give much notice. (Please contact the Party Organiser after 9am, on the day of your party, for cancellation news if the weather is inclement).
In the event of cancellation, you may still use the facility for your party but we cannot provide any trains due to safety considerations. In this case your booking fee will be refunded.
