MVR Footplate Experience 

The perfect opportunity for any steam lover to have a go at driving a steam engine! With an emphasis on practical instruction and tuition, there is no ‘classroom’ session and all theoretical matters are dealt with as they arise. No prior knowledge of steam locomotives is required, just an enthusiasm to learn and appreciate the engineering and power of steam engines! Up to six family members are invited for a ride on the train in the afternoon with the participant driving. A certificate is awarded on completion of the course.
