IN A NUTSHELL:
For over 200 years, the steam train has provided a mode of transport; once essential, it is now a charming reminder of how things used to be. With the Steam Train Experience for Two, history buffs and train enthusiasts alike will appreciate the chance to experience travel as it would have been at the turn of the last century. For a fascinating experience about how steam power changed the way the world worked, this activity cannot be missed!
On arrival at your chosen venue, you can swap your voucher for steam train tickets at the ticket office.
The experience on offer will vary depending on the venue you choose. Some journeys are all day rovers which allow you to get on and off throughout the day and some are return journeys. Either way, you can explore the local area as well as enjoying your steam train experience.
Some locations have other attractions included in the ticket price such as a museum or information centre.
The gift vouchers you use for your experience gifts typically have a 18 month validity.

Our Steam Train Experience turned out to be a rail journey on a diesel-electric Intercity 125.... It was thoroughly enjoyable experience and we would definitely recommend.

No problems with the rail experience that al went smoothly. However the choice of hotels that could be used with the voucher that accompanied the voucher for the train experience was very poor. One was in Bournemouth, which is a long way from the East Somerset Railway and the other was a guest house that did not do an evening meal was was not within walking distance of anywhere that did, also the breakfast option was a 'hamper'. Contacting the 'Activity Superstore' was problematic to say the least. They did not respond to the first 3 e-mails, Calling the phone number we found on the internet took us to a recorded message that told us to use the 'chat' function on their web site. There was no chat function to be found on the web site. So the train was great but I will be avoiding the 'Activity Superstore' in the future.

I recieved my voucher as a Birthday gift. There were two experieces (The steam train) Ecclesbourne. And Afternoon tea at Harrogate(The Crown Hotel) Both of these were extremely enjoyable. However they were very difficult to set up on your voucher redemption page online. Mr J Houghton

The passenger facilities at Wirksworth Station were very good and well maintained with further improvements under way. The LMS carriages were in excellent condition and the overall train journey was very good, the only dissapointment was the fact that the steam loco which was due to haul the train had developed a fault which required immediate attention, the train was therefore hauled by a diesel loco which didn't have the same nostalgia attached to it.
