I travelled with my family to this railway by car from the West Midlands in 2007,we found the fares and food prices in the cafe to be exorbitant and the cost for a day out here came to almost £200. POOR VALUE INDEED.
We also found out that the company were in severe financial difficulties and were forced to make their highly skilled maintenance staff redundant to keep the railway afloat, apparently their highly skilled maintenance machinist who had worked there for almost 20 years was the first to go.The staff that remained there to keep the railway running seemed to be extremely anxious about the safety aspect of the railway from a maintenance point of view.When we were last there several years earlier, the loco actually came off the track,though no one was in any danger of being hurt,but it does make you wonder what the scenario would now be if there is a lack of maintenance at the railway.
i certainly could not recommend a day out at this railway to anyone.
