DRIVER CRAIG

Not sure what’s happend but maybe it’s because it’s out of season. But it looks like the rail way needs saving and some money spending on its up keep and the general well being of the whole site. Needs something and quick !

Really well maintained miniature railway. Always popular with the kids and older kids.

Great customer service - we got to the station just after the train departed and it came back to get us! One star subtracted because it's not a real steam engine! 😋
