Now for anyone over the age of 21, we offer the opportunity to drive a diesel locomotive from our fleet and realise a dream. Courses are available on selected weekdays by arrangement with us. Each experience includes lunch for the participant, a guided tour of Loughborough Motive Power Depot and a visit to the Loughborough signal box with an explanatory talk given by one of our experienced signalmen. Overalls will be provided, but we recommend stout footwear. GIFT Drive a Train experiences are also available as gift vouchers.
Age is no problem.
Gift vouchers for steam 'Drive a Train' can be purchased online via our secure shopping cart. If you're looking to stage an original and memorable client event or a team-building exercise with a difference, call us for more details. Any others in the party can purchase travel tickets on the day. All the facilities of the railway will be theirs to enjoy - museum, loco shed, station buffet, shop, signalbox and 3 other stations to visit. We offer a special inclusive package with the local Jarvis Hotel.
