Details for the 8 Mile Diesel Train Driving Experience For One

Product ID: 17560

Step aboard the cab of a powerful Type 4 diesel locomotive for a truly hands-on driving experience along the scenic Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway in Oxfordshire. These iconic engines, producing around 2,500 bhp, have been a cornerstone of Britain’s railways since the early 1960s. While many have now been retired, a few select machines remain in operation, including the fully restored Type 4 that you will take the controls of. After a warm welcome and safety briefing from the Chinnor Railway team, you will step onto the footplate and take charge for an eight-mile round trip between Chinnor and Princes Risborough. From the elevated cab, enjoy sweeping views of the countryside while feeling the raw power and historic charm of one of Britain’s classic diesel locomotives. These experiences are in high demand so book today and prepare for an unforgettable day on the rails.
