On contacting the Railway Company to use the voucher I was told just to turn up at the booking office. At the booking office I was dealt with swiftly and given a ticket for the train. The train arrived and off we went after the conductor checked our tickets and secured the carriage doors. The first station is Gilfach Ddu where the slate museunm is, but closed at the moment for refurbishment, there is a gift shop and cafe here, toilets and a short walk into the woods. We then stop at the end of the lake where the engine moves round to take us back, we experience fantastic views of the lake and Yr Wyddfa, and stop at Cei Llydan station for a 5 minute break where we disembark and walk to the lake side and admire the castle at the end of the lake. From there we continue on our return journey and stop at Gilfach Ddu where the engine takes some water, we can also stay here if needed to use the facilities and catch a later train back to Llanberis station. 10/10

Staff really friendly. Great train ride. Plenty of scenery to look at on the journey. Stopped at quite a few stations. Very interesting. Had time to get off the train and stretch our legs before the return journey home. Clean carriages. Return tickets less than £20pp yet the gift voucher cost £110. Very difficult to book online with the gift voucher from Activity Superstore as I needed the original receipt when purchased yet the clue is in the title 'Gift'. As this was a Christmas present and we didn't redeem it until June, this was impossible to get. Very limited choice of Steam Train venues to choose from so this meant a long way to travel to get to the suggested train line. Although a lovely treat and no complaints about Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and the train ride, I wouldn''t buy one of these gifts for anyone.

We visited the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway on the hottest day of the year. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, smiling and helpful. Wirksworth Station is a work in progress but the toilet facilities were very clean. The run is very scenic and we very much enjoyed it.Well worth the visit.

We had an overall good experience and are glad so many volunteers have taken up the challenge to make this a good experience for all. We were particularly impressed by a very young gentleman who knew his way around and was very enthusiastic about the whole steamtrain setup. Well done this young man!

The gift was great, but the title was misleading. Realised, when reading the detail, that it was not a cream tea on a train. However The train trip was excellent. Lovely people, very welcoming. All very well kept.
