Take a journey back in time and enjoy a fun-filled, nostalgic day out with this Steam Train Experience for Two.
This majestic vehicle has been around for over 200 years and was a key part in the growth of the Industrial Revolution. Seeing these trains up close and in all their glory brings a real sense of history to your day.
Britain boasts more railway attractions per square mile than any other country in the world. And with 100 heritage railways, 60 steam museum centres and 700 operational engines, all supported by an legion of 23,000 enthusiastic volunteers, a day out on a steam train offers people the chance to savour a bygone age of riding aboard a lovingly preserved locomotive.
Unlike the usual trip on commuter trains, this is one train journey you will not want to hurry by quickly. Instead, sit back and relax and enjoy the ride as you meander through some of the most glorious and unspoiled parts of the English countryside.
This is a fantastic day out for everyone, and with a choice of scenic locations to choose from is a great way to see different parts of the country while travelling in style. Some locations offer a whole day rover ticket, enabling you to be able to stop off en route to enjoy some sightseeing or a picnic. At others, your ticket is valid for a return journey.
Please note: If the Steam train is unavailable for reasons beyond the control of the venue it will be replaced by a Diesel train.

Nene Valley Railway
An excellent day out, made by the fine weather. Railway staff were courteous and friendly. The minor negative was that the train was running 15 minutes late.

Last years Christmas present
Given as a present and mislaid until only two months left before expiry date. Contacted the web site and organised the visit to the East Lancs Railway at Bury on a day with steam power - easy following the given instructions - no problem. We had a great day with all day tickets travelling until the last train of the day. Very friendly, helpful staff, lovely locos and clean carriages. Interesting area including a chocolate café at Ramsbottom.
