Father's Day 2025 - Footplate Ride
Ever wondered what it’s like to stand where the action happens? Join the crew on the footplate for a short ride and see the railway from the driver’s perspective. A rare chance to get up close to the steam locomotive in action.
Footplate rides will be part of our standard service timetable and include a return journey from Woody Bay Station to Killington Lane approximately 20 minutes. Due to the size of the engine there will be one footplate passenger for each service. Pre-booking is recommended as it will be available on a first come first served basis.
Ticket price: £40.00 per person (Spaces are limited 1 per train service)
