点评:The station, the staff, the train- all fantastic.
Our table for two was snug but adequate. Afternoon tea a good selection and plenty of tea and coffee.
Because of the current hot weather, we struggled with the heat in our carriage. This was further compounded by a delay of 20 mins during the journey where we were left stationary on the track awaiting an incoming steam train to pass us. Our carriage had tiny windows only open an inch. No natural breeze. One small fan attached up high but not oscillating and fixed pointing away from us. Some people had thought to bring small hand fans. If only.
My solution is- either earn people to bring fans when they book or fix more in the carriage. Other carriages had bigger windows so would have been cooler but not ours.
It did rather spoil our trip but we would try another one just not summer time.
翻译:车站、工作人员、火车——一切都棒极了。
我们的双人桌虽然紧凑,但也足够用了。下午茶种类丰富,茶和咖啡也供应充足。
由于天气炎热,车厢里闷热难耐。更糟糕的是,旅途中还晚点了20分钟,我们被困在铁轨上,等待一辆蒸汽火车通过。我们车厢的窗户很小,只能打开一条缝。没有自然通风。车厢顶部装了一台小风扇,但不能摆动,而且风向固定地朝外。有些人想到了带小扇子。要是他们带了就好了。
我的建议是——要么在预订时就提醒乘客自带风扇,要么在车厢里多装几台风扇。其他车厢的窗户更大,应该会凉快一些,但我们的车厢却不行。
这次旅行确实有点扫兴,但我们还会再尝试,只是不会在夏天来了。
