Steam Driver Experiences. Price £600 per person
Our steam driver experiences are available on the following dates;

Each course will take three participants, who will each be able to drive and fire between Spring Village and Lawley Village, and also have the opportunity to drive and fire to and from Horsehay & Dawley Station. On your course, you could be hauling up to two coaches and a brake van.
Each participant can be accompanied by up to two guests for free and can add extra guests for £12 each who may travel on the train during the course.
