Just got back from our Day with Thomas at Embsay & Bolton Steam Railway. 4 Adults and 2 Children (14 Month and 4 Month boys). I have to say after reading the reviews I was a little anxious on arrival but needn't have worried we had a lovely day. We bought our tickets online and got a cheaper price than... More

We were holidaying in the Lake District, our daughter was holidaying in Yorkshire, so the railway was an ideal place to meet, as we had not been to Skipton before. A well restored line with beautiful buildings and fantastic scenery, and the staff were exceptionally helpful. It is also an ideal chance to travel behind more industrial type steam engines More

This provided additional interest as there were a number of motor vehicles from the period and people had dressed up in the fashion of the 40's, including many in wartime uniforms. There is a shop and cafe at both stations (Embsay and... More

I visited this attraction with my daughter who is a wheelchair user and was very impressed with how helpfull the staff were. We have visited places in the past and have sometimes been made to feel like an inconvenience even in places advertised as wheelchair friendly. Our experience on the railway was at the other end of the scale! All... More
