点评:Brilliant visit, I’ll be going again ASAP to see everything that we didn’t have time for !! We were lucky to have started our visit at Rothley Station - there is plenty of parking and really easy disabled access. I was delighted to be allowed to pull the ON chain to light the gas light in the little tea-outlet - shop on the platform. The WHOLE station is GAS LIT ! Inside and out which is the type of thoughtful RETRO fitting that makes a visit much more memorable ! The 3-person sized flushing vintage urinal is a “SIGHT TO BEHOLD” !! We traveled behind a beautiful steam locomotive down to Leicester North and then had the moving experience of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Railway Staff / Volunteers next to the loco observing a minutes silence on Remembrance Day:- the whistle blowing at the end is still ringing in my ears !! A good strong chuffing ride up to Loughborough then gave us chance to chat whilst enjoying the great scenery. Looking around Loughborough Station was then a great pleasure, the little museum is great and I was able to buy 2 books on DELTIC locos before enjoying a warm and cozy ride back down the line in a Diesel Multiple Unit Train with excellent view straight ahead out of the front !! I need to go again to see the DELTIC, I might even ask Father Christmas for a DELTIC driving experience !!
翻译:这次旅行太棒了!我一定要尽快再去一次,把这次没时间看完的地方都逛一遍!我们很幸运地从罗斯利火车站开始游览——那里停车位充足,而且无障碍通道非常方便。我很高兴能有机会拉动启动链,点亮站台上那家小茶水店里的煤气灯。整个车站都是煤气灯照明的!里里外外都是,这种贴心的复古设计让旅程更加难忘!那个可容纳三人的老式冲水小便池简直“令人叹为观止”!我们乘坐一辆漂亮的蒸汽机车前往莱斯特北站,然后在阵亡将士纪念日当天,与铁路工作人员/志愿者肩并肩站在机车旁,默哀一分钟,那令人动容的汽笛声至今仍在我的耳边回响!之后,我们乘坐强劲的蒸汽机车一路北上前往拉夫堡,沿途欣赏着美丽的风景,并有机会聊天。在拉夫堡火车站四处逛逛真是太愉快了,那个小博物馆很棒,我买了2本关于德尔塔机车的书,然后舒舒服服地坐上了柴油动车组列车,沿着铁路线一路返回,沿途风景美不胜收!我一定要再去一次,看看德尔塔机车,说不定我还会跟圣诞老人许愿,体验一下驾驶德尔塔机车的乐趣呢!
