Ever wanted to be an engine driver, or experience life on the footplate?

Well now's your chance, as we have some last minute places available THIS Wednesday 17th for some of our driver experience courses.

At 0930 we have 1x place available on a Regulator course, which allows you to take control of the day's locomotive for 1-hour as you travel through the Churnet Valley.

And then at 1320 we have the opportunity to join the footplate crew onboard the locomotive, as you watch the volunteers operate the locomotive for a full round trip.

These two spaces are on a first-come first-serve basis. To book please call 01538 758491 between 10am and 4pm.
