The Gold Driver Experience course runs over five consecutive days from Monday to Friday and is based at our locomotive workshops at Weybourne.
The course starts with two days in the classroom learning about locomotive theory and method of working on the railway. The third day is practical experience of preparation of the loco followed by two days on the footplate out on our line – one with a light engine (a locomotive without carriages) and one hauling a train.
Lunch will be provided and the days will be from 9:00 to 4:30.
This package is offered on several dates throughout the year and we take just four participants on each course.
Early booking is advised as places are strictly limited.
Participants must be aged between 18 and 70 and reasonably physically fit in order to undertake this experience.
Please note it is not possible to request a specific locomotive for one of our driver experience days.
