Take a glorious journey on board a fully-restored steam train with this Day Rover ticket. Enjoy views of the picturesque Mendip Hills, the rolling hills of Somerset, and Cranmore West station that features an engine shed and workshops that passengers are welcome to look round to see the task of restoration first hand.This experience is one of those rare days out that does not need advance booking, simply check when the trains are running and turn up with your ticket! The train is pulled by a steam locomotive that will appeal to everyone with a sense of nostalgia, and has been lovingly restored by a team of volunteers to its true glory. The comfortable seats and classic decor make the inside of the train welcoming and a reminder of a former era as the views slip past the windows. The train’s destination is Mendip Vale where you may alight to take in the scenery and watch the crew uncouple the locomotive, before it runs round the train ready to haul it back to Cranmore. Once everyone is back on board the steam will begin gushing out as the wheels start the turn, and the locomotive starts up the steep gradient to pull the train back towards Cranmore Station, but if you want to spend some more time within the wonderful world of trains, passengers can get off at Cranmore West for fascinating insights into the history of the station and industry. The journey itself takes about 35 minutes for the round trip and your ticket allows you to travel more than once during the day.A Day Rover ticket aboard the East Somerset Railway steam locomotive is a fun and interesting day out, and one that is perfect for sharing with friends and family. A journey ticket also makes a thoughtful gift for train enthusiasts, or just as a unique experience spent in the countryside!…
