This is a review for the Guard experience, something I’ve never seen for sale at other heritage railways.
I’d had to cancel at short notice because my partner had broken his ankle. This was no problem to Richard who happily rescheduled it.
This was one of my best days out in a long time. On arrival I got a full safety briefing from Barry, our Guard for the day. This included where to safely cross the rail tracks and an understanding of ‘refuge areas’. I had a few trips on the line blowing the whistle, waving the flag etc which was just wonderful. I then went with John the TTI (travelling ticket inspector). As a 56 year old woman, I can’t tell you how satisfying it was clipping those tickets! We stopped for lunch at a local cafe and once the driver’s invited me into the cab for a ride! They didn’t have to do this but it really added to my day. We finished with myself and my friends who’d come with me on the miniature railway. At only £1 a trip this was fantastic value for money.

Prior to the trip I’d planned on volunteering at the heritage railway nearest to me. I just wish this one was closer. Absolutely everyone here is a volunteer and whether you volunteer or spend your money here, you’re helping keep the line going. Everyone was so friendly and just wanted me to have a great day.

This was very first visit to Telford Steam Railway on Saturday,

I enjoyed riding on the Pacer Trains,

With a big thanks to the Train Crew on 142004 and 144013 with for meeting my request on the Destination Blinds that I wanted to be changed to,

Plus all the Volunteers were very brilliant,

I will be turning again when the Pacers are operating again

I decided to go on a day out with my family (Wife and 4yo). It was a pleasant short journey whilst being transported in a time warp locomotive! It was a great experience to discover what train journeys were like back before electric trains.

Had a really nice few days out with my son's. Came coronation weekend and enjoyed it that much, returned this weekend. It was really affordable, had a trip on Rocket, the steam engine on both weekends, used the miniature railway and had a toasted sandwich at the cafe..... Beautifully clean, nicely maintained site. Staff were so friendly and approachable and answered all questions my young sons posed with accuracy and enthusiasm. Food was really nice and service was fast and efficient.... I'd recommend this for a nice few hours out.... There was also a picnic area where you could eat your own food but the cafe was really great prices (can't remember how much my toastie was but my son's mint chocolate ice cream cone was 75p)..... Can't wait to return soon.....thank you to all staff for a lovely day ☺️🚂

On the day the number of station stops were limited so a family of 4 paid £36 to travel a mile in a diesel train (not a steam train) - suggest you call before visiting to ensure you get the experience you expect.
