Driving Experience Days: As is often the case with trains, if you know someone who's into
them, they're most likely really into them.
When
trainspotting is just not enough any more, give the gift of a
lifetime and treat a lucky loved one to the Diesel Train Driving
Experience in Derbyshire, guaranteed to be a truly unforgettable
day.
Located at the heritage Wirksworth railway station, you'll join
an expert train driver aboard the lovingly restored diesel railcar,
ready for a full day of locomotive action.
The instructor has a
wealth of knowledge, and is on hand to answer any questions you may
have about the history, function and controls of the train - so be
sure to test their expertise! You'll spend the morning learning how
to operate a heritage diesel railcar and have a go at driving,
before breaking for a delicious lunch in the Pullman Buffet Car.
The afternoon consists of further tuition and driving, this time in
a heritage main line diesel locomotive - make sure you take a
moment to admire the stunning Ecclesbourne Valley scenery as you
chug through the countryside - bliss!
The Full Day Diesel Train Driving in Derbyshire is a hugely
enjoyable day out and makes a fabulously unique experience gift for
train enthusiasts, or those who just love trying new things.
Treat
a loved one to an experience day they'll remember for years to
come!
