Footplate Thursdays – Every Thursday in August
Ever wondered what it's like to stand on the footplate of a working steam locomotive? This August, join us every Thursday for a unique behind-the-scenes experience and enjoy a 2-mile round trip alongside the locomotive crew.
This is a rare chance to get up close to a working steam locomotive in action, experiencing the sights, sounds and atmosphere from the heart of the engine as you travel between Woody Bay Station and Killington Lane (approximately 20 minutes).
Footplate rides operate alongside our standard Thursday timetable, with one footplate place available on each train service. As spaces are extremely limited, advance booking is strongly recommended. Any remaining places will be available on the day, on a first come first served basis.
Footplate Thursdays will be available on the following dates, the 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th of August.
Ticket price: £42.50 per person (Spaces are limited 1 per train service)
