点评:We had an excellent day out at Midland Railways Butterley. We enjoyed the main steam train ride to Riddings, really nice to watch the steam train in action. I personally loved the “Golden Valley Light railway”.
THE WONDERFUL interactions with the volunteers really made the day!! (Particular Chris at the hobby railway, the guys on the GVLR, the guy in the stationary engine shed, the cafe, the train conductor etc). Really excellent for our kids (8 and 12).
Just a comment on the negative reviews below. To some degree I can see where these reviews come from,eg
1. Some attractions were closed. I appreciate that many attractions are “separate” organisation, but it would be good to inform visitors what is open.
2. Better map and directions would be helpful.
3. Lots of old decaying trains/carriages.
3. Cost of ticket. We were happy to pay the price, as we had a great time, but can understand other comments. Seems to depend on the interactions you have with the volunteers
Overall, Best to remember this is a VOLUNTEER CHARITY, not a commercial theme park. Hence, hopefully people are happy to help support them in their efforts.
翻译:我们在米德兰铁路巴特利站度过了非常棒的一天。我们很享受乘坐主蒸汽火车前往里丁斯的旅程,观看蒸汽火车运行真是太棒了。我个人非常喜欢“金谷轻轨”。
与志愿者们的愉快互动让这一天更加精彩!(特别感谢业余铁路的克里斯、金谷轻轨上的工作人员、固定机车库里的工作人员、咖啡馆的工作人员、列车员等等)。孩子们(8岁和12岁)玩得非常开心。
关于下面的一些负面评论,我想说几句。在某种程度上,我能理解这些评论的由来,例如:
1. 一些景点关闭了。我知道很多景点属于不同的机构,但最好还是告知游客哪些景点开放。
2. 如果能提供更清晰的地图和路线指引就更好了。
3. 很多老旧的火车/车厢。
4. 票价。我们很乐意支付票价,因为我们玩得很开心,但我也能理解其他评论的顾虑。这似乎取决于你与志愿者的互动。
总而言之,最好记住这是一个志愿者慈善机构,而不是商业主题公园。因此,希望大家都能乐于支持他们的工作。
