点评:This was a birthday gift from my children for my 60th ,I have a fascination with steam trains !
Originally booked from Grosmont we ended up leaving from Pickering as the bridge needs repair so a bit of a shorter trip ,we had the 3 course lunch on board which was tasty,veg soup,chicken with veg, very hard veg especially the green beans and the cauliflower ( which didnt bother me as i cant stand the stuff anyway !)and raspberry cheesecake which was divine!
We got a coke and a shandy £8,75 on top of the money already paid and its not cheap! Parking on site was £7 which i think should be included when you're spending way over £150 to start with ,fair enough charge those not travelling and not spending ! The views are nothing special, as most of the line is in a small valley so you're looking at scrub and trees ,you're going for the experience of dining on the pull man, we saw lots of pheasants, 1 rabbit which we think was dead as it hadn't moved an inch by the time we returned ! And a few sheep with lambs ,always sweet to see !
You can add a drinks package to your booking but it wasn't worth it for us we are not drinkers and definitely not wine buffs ,a coke and a cup of tea suffices !
Small gold boxes were delivered post meal,contents were 2 chocolates, one white didn't get tried and half the orange one I didn't like but its personal choice isn't it ,hubby wouldn't even try them he's not a fan anyway regardless if they are handmade! Overall I enjoyed the trip,I wouldn't come back as I've done it now so that's that for me ! The staff were very pleasant and attentive and it is a rather unique half day out .
翻译:这是我孩子们送我的60岁生日礼物,我对蒸汽火车情有独钟!
原本预订的是从格罗斯蒙特出发,但由于桥梁需要维修,最终改从皮克林出发,行程也因此缩短了一些。我们在火车上享用了三道菜的午餐,味道不错:蔬菜汤、鸡肉配蔬菜,蔬菜很硬,尤其是四季豆和花椰菜(不过我倒是不介意,因为我本来就不喜欢花椰菜!),还有覆盆子芝士蛋糕,简直太美味了!
除了已经支付的费用,我们还额外花了8.75英镑买了一杯可乐和一杯啤酒,这可不便宜!停车费7英镑,我觉得既然已经消费超过150英镑,停车费应该包含在内才对,毕竟应该只向那些不乘车也不消费的人收费!沿途景色没什么特别的,因为大部分路段都在一个小山谷里,所以看到的都是灌木丛和树木。这次旅行的重点是体验在卧铺车厢里用餐。我们看到了很多野鸡,还有一只兔子,我们觉得它已经死了,因为等我们回来的时候它一动不动!还有几只带着小羊的绵羊,看到它们总是让人很开心!
你可以预订饮料套餐,但对我们来说没必要,我们不喝酒,更不是葡萄酒爱好者,一杯可乐和一杯茶就足够了!
餐后会送来一些金色的小盒子,里面是两块巧克力,一块白巧克力我没尝,另一块橙味巧克力我不太喜欢,不过口味这东西见仁见智嘛。我老公连尝都没尝,反正他也不喜欢巧克力,不管是不是手工制作的!总的来说,我挺喜欢这次旅行的,不过既然已经体验过了,就不会再来了!工作人员非常热情周到,这是一次相当独特的半日游。
