Train journeys are nowhere near as much fun as or as spectacular as they used to be years ago. Travelling by train in the early to mid-nineties was looked upon as a privilege and upper class way to travel. Nowadays trains are just used as a method of transport and that is it, they may be quick and convenient however, with crowded carriages and basic facilities they are certainly not as glamorous as they used to be.
The below locomotive trips and steam train rides allow you to experience train journeys as they used to be. You can choose either an all-day rover ticket or a return trip to one of many historic cities in the UK. This gives you the option to send the day out sightseeing or shopping whilst relaxing travelling to and from in style.
For those real train enthusiasts out there, you can even try a train driving experience. Not only do you get to drive a steam train for the day, be it steam or diesel, you learn the different controls, help prepare and may even get to change tracks.
