点评:Loved the GWSR - the services, staff, rolling stock and locos were all great. We just did a family ride from Broadway to Toddington and back. Haulage was an elegant Battle of Britain class loco ‘Manston’ then return was the beautiful ‘Betton Grange’ with a class 24 pushing from the rear.
The short ride for 4 was £60 which I thought was expensive and there are no concessions for students or unemployed. You can get money back off the car parking, but in our case that didn’t happen.
In fact the parking at Broadway is a total pain. It is located down a laneway across from the station with a single machine that only accepts coins which is pretty dumb in 2026. Apparently there is an app you can use but we could not find it on the App Store and the mobile signal at that location is poor. So, we parked, then had to go to the station and park on the approach which is all restricted, get change and tickets, then drive back down, park again, use the machine and walk back up to the station. Good job we were early.
We had a lovely trip down to Toddington and back, but the car parking was a nightmare and needs sorting out.
翻译:非常喜欢GWSR——服务、员工、车辆和机车都很棒。我们一家人刚乘坐了从百老汇到托丁顿的往返列车。去程是由优雅的“不列颠之战”级机车“曼斯顿”牵引,回程则是美丽的“贝顿格兰奇”号,后面还拖着一辆24型机车。
这趟四人短途旅程花了60英镑,我觉得有点贵,而且没有学生或失业者的优惠。虽然停车费可以报销,但我们没拿到。
事实上,百老汇的停车场简直太糟糕了。它位于车站对面的一条小巷里,只有一个只收硬币的投币机,这在2026年简直太不合理了。据说有个应用程序可以用,但我们在应用商店里没找到,而且那里的手机信号也很差。所以,我们先停好车,然后不得不开车去车站,把车停在限停的入口处,换零钱买票,再开车返回,再次停车,使用自助售票机,最后步行回到车站。幸好我们来得早。
去托丁顿的往返旅程很愉快,但停车简直是一场噩梦,亟需改进。
