I would be very careful giving these guys any money for membership Back in April of 2024 after a trip I decided to join filling out the form And parting with $30 dollars I never heard from them again After a year I rang them many times Nobody wanted to give me a clear explanation I WILL BE NOT BE GIVING THEM ANY MORE MONEY END WOULD ADVISE ANYBODY TO DO THE SAME

Great emergency services exercise, thank you for adding the special train effects!
Alex

Amazing experience despite the fact that steam train broke down and we were pulled by old diesel, still awesome and a lot of fun! It was 2 hours round ride from Warwick during Jumpers and Jazz in July festival in Warwick. Tickets were from $30, absolutely worth it!
Andrew

We rode the train from Warwick to Clifton and back for lunch. Unfortunately no steam train due to fire hazard issues but great fun anyway. Recommend a trip to anyone.

Not every kid from the city gets to ride the steam train. You need to book the tickets online in advance and wear closed shoes. We took the opportunity to take the steam train ride while visiting Warwick. A big shout to the volunteers, especially during the Easter holiday period. There is a mini-museum and shop for gifts. The volunteers are highly knowledgeable, and they give you a brief history of the steam train. There is a small shop on the train for food and drinks. The kids were given a chance to sit near the engine room and pull the horn.
