Steam Train Trip for Two with East Somerset Railway
About this experience
Take to the rails of the heritage East Somerset Railway discovering the history of steam trains’ heyday, and enjoy a half day's unlimited travel through some picturesque South West countryside with this Steam train Trip for Two with the East Somerset Railway.
Since 1973 the East Somerset Railway has been transporting steam train fans up and down the track pulled by a lovingly restored steam locomotive. From Cranmore station with its museum and 100 year old signal box to Mendip Vale and the sight of trains ‘running around’, there are four stations and 2.5 miles of history to dive into on the historic East Somerset Railway, and you can experience it with unlimited travel.
You can visit the engine shed and look into the workshops to see first hand the restoration work going on, or simply kick back in your seats and enjoy a day of back-and-forth steam train travel. The choice is yours!
