Your day as an honorary steam train driver will give you the opportunity to shovel coal, test the brakes and couple carriages and handle the controls of a powerful steam locomotive. As well as driving the train for 8 miles on the 2ft 6in narrow gauge heritage railway, you will get behind the scenes at our railway yard and find out what a typical day is actually like as a train driver on the Great Whipsnade Railway (a.k.a the Jumbo Express). You'll also receive a health and safety briefing upon arrival and the experience includes lunch and plenty of cups of tea and coffee to keep you going throughout the day!
