About the experience

Every locomotive enthusiast had the dream to get their hands on the controls of a train. This 1:1 Train Driving Experience along the East Kent Railway where you will drive the train on a return trip from Eythorne. Your experience will be 1:1 so you don't have to share your driving time with anyone else and have the experienced and knowledgeable instructor focused fully on you. You will either be in control of a Vanguard Class or Ruston & Hornsby diesel shunters that used to be used by the MoD. You can make the day even more special by inviting up to 4 guests to ride as passengers as you drive, a great way to share your experience with the ones you love. It's the perfect gift for someone who loves all things trains.
