点评:Arrived at the station at 0655 Trowbridge, welcomed by friendly staff shown to our seats.
Started our journey to Canterbury, first part of the journey pulled by diesel train on to London, where the diesel was swapped for steam engine, we should have had a 25 minute pit stop to stretch our legs and admire the locomotive, this got cancelled due to delays on route, tea and coffee served through the morning, 1130 our cups were cleared and staff disappeared, we had to ask 3 times for drinks, as we had another 3hrs to go, we finally arrived at Canterbury 1430 (unable to see the locomotive due to the platform being to short).
Given 1½hrs to explore the beautiful city ( well a fleeting glance) then back on the train for our journey back home, finally allowed a 15 minute stop to admire the locomotive, if you could get near it, small platform with 250+ people all trying to get a photo.
Then back on the train to home arriving at 2315, 17hrs journey 1¾hr time off train, and no chance to admire the magnificent locomotive, that we booked to see.
At nearly £500 for 2 people this trip certainly didn't meet expectations, the nostalgic feel of a steam journey was missed by far
翻译:早上6点55分抵达特罗布里奇车站,友好的工作人员迎接我们并引导我们入座。
我们的旅程开始了,前往坎特伯雷。旅程的第一段由柴油机车牵引至伦敦,之后换成了蒸汽机车。我们原本应该有25分钟的停留时间,可以舒展筋骨,欣赏一下机车,但由于途中延误,这个时间被取消了。整个上午都供应茶水和咖啡,11点30分,我们的杯子被收走,工作人员也消失了。我们不得不三次询问饮料,因为还有3个小时的路程。最终,我们于下午2点30分抵达坎特伯雷(由于站台太短,没能看到机车)。
我们被允许花一个半小时游览这座美丽的城市(其实只是匆匆一瞥),然后返回火车,踏上回家的旅程。终于,我们被允许停留15分钟欣赏机车,但前提是你能靠近它。小小的站台上挤满了250多人,每个人都想拍照。
然后我们乘火车返回家中,晚上11点15分到达,全程17小时,下车时间1小时45分钟,完全没有机会欣赏我们预订行程就是为了参观的那辆雄伟的蒸汽机车。
两人花费近500英镑,这次旅行实在令人失望,完全没有体验到蒸汽机车旅行的怀旧氛围。
