Steam Observer Experiences on Standard Days:

The perfect taster experience for 'steam buffs' and it could make a lovely gift for a birthday or to celebrate a memorable occasion!

Only one lucky person on selected dates can join our steam crew from an observer perspective for an approximately 1-hour long round trip.

The journey includes some arduous work by steam locomotive 4555 including the 1 in 68 banks, and you will see everything from the working-end and experience the sights, sounds, smell and heat of a ‘live’ steam engine!

Our expert and highly experienced Driver and Fireman will be pleased to answer your questions and show you various points of interest during the journey.

Please note that you will NOT be invited to touch any of the controls and you will NOT be driving or firing the locomotive - this is purely observing our steam locomotive and crew in action whilst travelling with them on the footplate.
