“Brilliant day out, loads to do with the kids… loved having lunch on the train and the service was excellent.”

“Great day out, plenty to see and you can take a train to Marks Tey and back travelling over the viaduct. Very friendly staff/volunteers willing to talk about the work they are doing. Really good value for money too. Good for all ages.”

“Amazed by the enthusiasm, dedication and skill of the people who make this place work. There was just so much to see.”

“This is a bit different from the normal heritage railway site as it is a museum which has a network rail train running through the middle of it ! A well put together collection of buildings and well laid out information. The goods shed was particularly impressive.”
