This historic steam railway runs over ten miles through Hampshire's rolling countryside between Alresford and Alton and a round trip will take about 2 hours. Take some extra time to break your journey and see the other stations. A childhood dream, or just a new found interest in steam trains, either way this is the opportunity you have been looking for! Drive and fire one of the large steam engines as it hauls a train over steeply graded lines and begin to understand the skills of engine crews. Footplate experience
