United Kingdom - East Lancashire Railway - Footplate Experience Days
TAKE THE CHALLENGE TO LIVE A CHILDHOOD DREAM...
It's a picture straight from the golden age of British Industry. Hard working drivers and firemen climbing into the embrace of a roaring locomotive, bathed in the welcoming glow of an open firebox or basking in the inimitable noise and atmosphere of a softly growling diesel. Perhaps you believe such powerful experiences have been resigned to history...
...but this could be you!

United Kingdom - Exbury Gardens Steam Railway
The Exbury Steam Railway was opened in Summer 2001, and extends along a challenging 1 ¼ mile track with bends and gradients to negotiate. The engines are coal-fired steam and the track 12 ¼'' gauge. Whilst concentrating on acquiring driving skills, you will also have time to take in the scenery on this most picturesque of railways. You will drive the engine over a bridge, through a tunnel & across a pond in the Summer Lane Garden, a summer flowering garden planted with huge swathes of herbaceous perennials; drive along the top of the Rock Garden (the largest in Europe) & across a viaduct to Exbury North Halt in the American Garden before heading back to Exbury Central.
