Ever thought what it would be like to take the controls of a locomotive? Well you can! With our Driver for a Tenner.
For just £10, one of our drivers will welcome you onto the footplate of our locomotive at Cranmore station. They will show you the wonderful dials and controls and what it takes to drive one of these beautiful feats of engineering.
Driver for a Tenner is run on a first come first served basis, with limited slots each day.
Our general advice is that children under 5 years old are likely to be a bit frightened, so we do not recommend Driver for a Tenner for them. Children between 5 and 16 years old are welcome to have a go providing they are accompanied by a responsible adult and it is always at the Driver’s discretion. Please speak with the Driver beforehand if you have any questions.
