The volunteers are very helpful and nice - spending their time to preserve a precious piece of history. Will definitely go back to support them. Our kid loved it!

It's less than 10 minutes walk from the mainline station to the Steam railway station. Once in the compartment you can take masks off as it is restricted to your group.…

A fantastic afternoon with some of the family. The two grandchildren were so excited and absorbed by the train journey and museum. We even had tears when it was time to leave! Lovely cafe for a mid journey cuppa. The staff were so friendly making it a great day.
