About the experience

Product ID: 16072

Make the most of your visit with the Great Central Railway by getting a Family Explorer ticket! The GCR Explorer Pack provides a simple plan for your day, including suggestions for travel and a fun activity pack. With these tickets, you’ll spend less time figuring out train times and more time enjoying the journey! When you arrive at your starting station, an Explorer Host will greet you and walk you through what to expect for the day. You'll watch a short introductory video, and then you’re ready to start your adventure on this wonderful heritage railway. The specially arranged schedule lets you visit all four stations along the line and ride on a variety of vintage steam and diesel trains. Plus, there’s plenty of time set aside for lunch! The activity pack is filled with fun facts and tips about interesting sights, like a hidden parcels office at Rothley and the charming NAAFI tea room at Quorn and Woodhouse Station. It even includes helpful advice like when to stop at Leicester North to see the locomotives in action. Don't forget to get your Explorer Activity Pack stamped at each station! This will earn you an Explorer Badge and allow you to join the Explorer Club, which gives you special access to unique events, steam days, and themed experiences. What makes the Great Central Railway Explorer special is how they handle all the details for you, ensuring you enjoy lots of train rides and fully explore each station without missing out on anything!
