Advantages: Good Day trip

Disadvantages: Price and staff attuide.

I visited in Mid 2007 for one of there gala events, it was billed as a major event, with breakfeast train from kidderminister and demo freight trains.

We arrived in plenty of time for the breakfeast train, but we were told that the carriage was full and we couldnt dine.

We alighted the train at Arley to take some pictures, which was nice. Lots of trains passed and i took some good pictures.

But the pricce of the tickets was still high, even booked in advance was approx 30 GBP including breakfeast which we couldnt have.

Again staff attuide was poor, especially towards the childern, who were seen as a pain and unwanted.

The toys/books in the shop were over priced 4 GBP for a small thomas toy.

Its fine for a standard day trip but, i wouldnt go to one of these galas again. total waste of money really.

Summary: wouldnt go to gala again
