点评:3 years on from my previous and somewhat disastrous visit, I decided to try again for a day at this miniature railway, having learned that it had changed ownership in the meantime, and I am so glad that I returned.
From the moment I arrived until the moment I left I had a thoroughly good time. As an avid steam locomotive (of all sizes and gauges) enthusiast, I visit many such attractions and this really was an enjoyable day. Despite its "Miniature Railway" status, the covered carriages are provided with comfortable seating and there is room for two people to sit side by side. The journey is a pleasant one alongside a footpath / cycle path through woodland and, from the intermediate station, along the shore of Rudyard Lake to a terminus at a lakeside car parking area.
All of the staff that I encountered were very friendly and helpful and I was so busy enjoying my time riding and photographing the trains that I didn't even manage to get into their café before it closed. Obviously, I will need to return to this delightful little line, not just for the trains, but to sample their tea !!
I am already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you very much and see you soon !
翻译:距离我上次那次不太愉快的经历已经过去了三年,这次我决定再去体验一下这条迷你铁路。得知它这三年间易主后,我欣喜若狂。
从我抵达的那一刻起,直到离开,我都玩得非常开心。作为一名蒸汽机车(各种尺寸和轨距的)爱好者,我经常去参观这类景点,而这次的体验真的非常愉快。尽管它被称为“迷你铁路”,但车厢内配备了舒适的座椅,可以并排坐两个人。旅程本身也十分惬意,沿着林间小径/自行车道,从中间站出发,沿着鲁德亚德湖畔一路延伸至湖边停车场。
我遇到的所有工作人员都非常友好热情,我忙着乘坐和拍摄火车,以至于在咖啡馆关门前都没来得及进去。显然,我一定要再来这条迷人的小线路,不仅是为了坐火车,也是为了品尝他们的茶!
我已经开始期待下次的旅程了。非常感谢,期待下次再见!
