2009 saw the first of these week-long extravaganzas across all island railways, which continue to this day; extra trains, headboards, double headers, evening trains, social events and open days are features and the 2024 event also hosted the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary ceremony for the station with the unveiling of a blue commemorative plaque by the Friends Of... group. These images show some of the festival highlights including No.5 Mona displayed at the station, anniversary workings, double headers, travelling post offices and recreation trains.
