点评:We went on this steam train as we had booked up the Christmas light show. It’s a lovely quaint station, looking like an action from years ago would look. It had original advertising, old seats, with many original features.
The cafe served mulled wine plus snacks. The lights were on the outside off the train, so you see this reflecting onto the countryside as you go along. There are some lights on the verges as you go by.
They were also celebrating their 50th year, so there was lots of talk about this in the running commentary on the train. They played Christmas sings on the way back, which was nice to sing along to.
I did think they could have concentrated on the Christmas of the things as it is advertised as a Christmas activity. They spoke a lot about the 50th birthday, but people were there to see lights and celebrate Christmas.
So I was a little bit disappointed, but we enjoyed the train ride. I wonder if it would more Christmassy if it was not celebrating their special birthday.
It is worth a visit, the kids loved it on the train, seeing the smoke going past and hearing the whistle.
翻译:我们预订了圣诞灯光秀的票,所以就坐上了这趟蒸汽火车。车站古色古香,仿佛回到了过去。车厢里保留着许多原始的广告、老式座椅和特色装饰。
咖啡馆供应热红酒和小吃。灯光装在火车外侧,沿途可以看到灯光倒映在乡村景色中。路边也有一些灯光。
他们当时正在庆祝成立50周年,所以火车上的讲解员一直在谈论这件事。回程途中播放了圣诞歌曲,大家跟着一起唱,感觉很不错。
我觉得他们应该把重点放在圣诞主题上,毕竟宣传的是圣诞活动。他们一直在强调50周年庆典,但人们是来看灯光秀和庆祝圣诞节的。
所以我有点失望,不过我们还是享受了这段火车之旅。我想,如果不是为了庆祝周年纪念,会不会更有圣诞气氛呢?
值得一游,孩子们很喜欢坐火车,看着烟雾缭绕,听着汽笛声。
