Family Steam Train Trip with East Somerset Railway

Virgin Experience Days

Discover the history of steam trains' heyday, and enjoy unlimited travel through some picturesque South West countryside with this Family Steam Train Trip with the East Somerset Railway.


Since 1973 the East Somerset Railway has been transporting steam train fans up and down the track pulled by a lovingly restored steam locomotive. From Cranmore station with its museum and 100 year old signal box, to Mendip Vale and the sight of trains ‘running around', there are four stations and 2.5 miles of history to dive into, and you can experience it with unlimited travel.


There are areas to picnic at Cranmore station, also home to the Whistlestop cafe, so there are plenty of options for when lunch rolls around. Visit the engine shed and look into the workshops to see first hand the restoration work going on, or simply kick back on your seats and enjoy a day of steam train travel. The choice is yours!
