It's many people's dreams to quit their job, up sticks and move to the seaside, and this could be a possibility - particularly if you're mad the railways.

This is because an opportunity has arisen to buy a light railway service on Hayling Island, Hampshire, as a going concern which could earn you £30,000 a year in net profit.

The business, which has been running as a successful venture for 30 years, will set you back a fair bit, with the asking price currently a cool £249,995.

However, it comes with substantial assets, including a new station, locomotives, carriages and the track, which runs for around a mile.

The railway, which runs along the island's seafront throughout the year on set days and daily during school holidays, has an annual turnover of £60,000 and does have the ability to extend should the need arise.
