The little Train

[sue]

Does anyone know if the train is still riding round the resort, last year it was not there in June unless it was too early in the season

[mama]

Hi Sue,
Dont know if it is running yet this year, but was there in August last year & got it to the old village but the last one was 10 oclock.

[JT]

I thought I spotted it earlier but it was dragging a trailer behind it so still a little quiet for it yet.

[Colette]

Ive heard that the train has retired?

[MUSTAPHABUN]

devistated about the train, three year old grandson needs a daily dose of thomas.

[Colette]

Don't quote me David John will be able to confirm im sure

[JT]

Probably not retired as I am not that lucky.

I hate that whistle all day long and you can hear it all the way from the village to the town

[MUSTAPHABUN]

i,m just dreading him spying the pink truck with the horns.stayed at the baydu last year the whoop whoop whoop every day signaled tea time.

where can you catch the train from, my little boy Thomas wanted a ride last year but every time we looked for it, it was not to be seen, heard it all day but could not see it at night time, does it run at night?

[sue]

it starts off from the Marbas Hotel by the dolmus station it does run at nght if it is there this year

[clare]

Thanks for that Sue will look out for it this year when I go in August

[sue]

we had problems catching the train as well as everytime it hooted its horn we were either in a shop or having a meal, it took us a week to catch it, but its all good fun

just back after 2 weeks never saw the train. I wondered if it was because it was to early in the season but dont know.

[salkk]

ive been there 3 times and never seen a train! does it go all round icmeler?

[clare]

Yes it does, surely you have heard it if not seen it it goes w o o w o o ow Thomas!!! I think you can ride on it from one end of Icmeler to the other.

[Karemolinos]

Yes, I was told it had to go, as it was causing a few problems with the local taxi's, also tourists complained that it was full before it arrived at their hotel (ones at the back of the village).

Shame, it added character to the place, there were other reasons also, but I cant remember them

[clare]

Thats a shame my little boy wanted a ride on it this year. Will miss its w o o o w o o o

Hey all,

I have just come back from Icmeler, and while I was there I asked about the Train and was told that at some point last year there was an accident and someone got run over by the train so the council stopped it from working. They are not sure if there are any plans for a new one.


But while there I did see the front of the old green train being used a tractor to pull something along towards the old village so the front bit is still in use, just not as a train as some of us loved it.

Take Care, love Zeynep
