Overview

Take a journey back in time and enjoy a fun-filled, nostalgic trip out together on a historic steam train. With a choice of scenic locations to visit, they’ll travel in style as the train meanders through some of the most glorious parts of the British countryside.

At some locations, tickets are valid for a return journey, whereas others offer a whole day rover ticket, so they’ll be able to hop on and off, exploring the local area as they please.

Also included in this package is either a one night stay with breakfast or a two night room only stay at a delightful hotel or B&B carefully selected for their convenient location.

These experiences make the perfect relaxing combination, where they can unwind in peaceful surroundings, with a chance to experience a new part of the country or see a local area from a different perspective, either at the same time as the train ride or at a later date.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. Due to the heritage nature of the steam train, there are occasions where it has to be replaced at short notice with a diesel engine. We’re sorry for the disappointment, but we hope you still enjoyed yourself and had a great day overall.

Diesel Day

This is one of the smallest tracks in the country. As a train ride it is swiftly over. On steam days, the talk at the far end is a good addition to the visit. The benefit on a diesel day is a high frequency of trips giving chances to look back at the track or forward behind the driver ESR makes the best of a limited area. The cafe is good. Not really the best recommendation if a long train ride is wanted but my granddaughter and I enjoyed our time there.

Very poor, location ok. But very short train ride, teas available at site but we were expected to use a facility some miles away from site. Not good enough, overall a waste of money would not use you again.
