Train Driving Experiences

These drive a train days are among our most popular activities, as for many the chance to spend a day at a heritage railway surrounded by steam and diesel locomotives is pure nostalgia, whether they are keen train fans or just appreciate the bygone era of rail travel. We've got a variety of train-themed experiences on offer, from driving steam trains or riding on the footplate, to assisting a signaller in a signal box. All experiences make for a great day out for all the family as there is plenty to do on site from visiting museums and workshops, to taking a ride on the train. Be sure to book well in advance for these train drive experiences as demand can be high!
