Railway to heaven

Beautiful scenery, heritage steam & diesel locomotives & lunch too! A great day out for a rail enthusiast but also great fun for all the family. The santa specials are a favourite with my wee cousins.

Steam railway Journey

As soon as we entered the Station we were well looked after I was in a Powered Wheelchair and my Sister was using elbow crutches, when the train arrived at the platform the station guard had me positioned at the right spot on the platform, where we were to enter the guards van, the train guard fixed up the ramp, and with me using a powered wheelchair I had no problem entering the van, my sister brother in law, and I were given free tea, coffee, and shortbread, which was most enjoyable

Steam train trip.

Old fashioned carriages but the staff put out a ramp for me to board.if in a chair you would have to sit in the guards van but there are Windows and no charge for you or carer .If you can walk once you are on board I parked my walker by my seat. The disabled person gets a reduced fare and the carer goes free. The staff offered me a wheelchair to get along the platform to board then to get back to the car.
