Steam Locomotive Driving Experience Vouchers (Nottinghamshire)
Event Summary
Our gift vouchers make the perfect present for any occasion! Give them the ultimate gift - the chance to drive a steam locomotive at the Great Central Railway (Nottingham).
Vouchers are valid for journeys running during the operating season on selected dates between March and October, and will expire 12 months from the date of purchase.
Give them the chance to take the controls of a beautifully restored Austerity steam locomotive at the Great Central Railway (Nottingham).
During this 80-minute experience, they'll have the opportunity to try both firing and driving, with skilled instructors there to guide them throughout.
Afterwards, they can explore the wider Transport Heritage Centre at Ruddington and discover more about the history of this former Great Central Main Line route.
Points to Note:
- Participants must be 18 or over, and physically fit enough to board/alight the locomotive using vertical steps from the ground.
- Spectators are welcome to accompany you to the station, but are not permitted on the journey as it will be "light engine" (without carriages) - don't worry, photographs will be taken to prove you did it!
- Please arrive around 30 minutes before your session begins for a safety briefing.
- You may take it in turns at driving and firing with another participant at the same time.
