点评:I have been to this railway before but some years ago and for the life of me I could not find it again. It is very poorly signposted. There is a very poor mobile signal in the area so the satnav tried to take me to the middle of a field half a mile away. I wasted 45 minutes driving backwards and forwards along narrow lanes trying to find the railway. I was not the only one. A family in another car stopped and asked me for directions. I said I'm sorry I have no idea and I am about to give up! I don't like to moan as the place is run by volunteers and I know how much dedication and hard work these sorts of heritage lines require. But listen Helston Railway people, you are losing customers for sake of a few more signs! I found it in the end but I missed my train. The next one was 90 minutes later and I could not wait. So that is another ticket lost. So if you are heading there and going east, go under the big railway bridge and almost immediately turn left into Trevarno Farm. You might spot a little sign by the entrance saying Helston Railway or you might not... but that is where it is.
As for the railway itself, the line is short and sweet but makes a nice afternoon out. There are good facilities as described by other reviewers. It was a good few years ago that I last had a train ride there but the staff were very helpful and informative. I really hope that that as the years go by the line can be extended bit by bit so that it ends up more ike the Bodmin steam railway experience. For that the volunteers need money, which means more customers and ticket sales, and that means bigger and better signage!
翻译:我几年前去过这条铁路,这次怎么也找不到了。路标指示非常不清晰。那片区域的手机信号很差,导航把我带到了半英里外的一片田野中央。我浪费了45分钟在狭窄的小路上来回兜圈,试图找到铁路。我不是唯一一个找不到的人。另一辆车里的一家人停下来问我路。我说抱歉,我不知道,我都快放弃了!我不想抱怨,因为这里是由志愿者运营的,我知道维护这种历史铁路需要付出多少奉献和努力。但是听着,赫尔斯顿铁路的各位,你们为了多几个路标而流失乘客!最后我还是找到了,但是错过了火车。下一班90分钟后才有,我等不了了。所以又一张票作废了。所以如果你要去那里,往东走,穿过那座大铁路桥,然后几乎立刻左转进入特雷瓦诺农场。你或许会在入口处看到一块写着“赫尔斯顿铁路”的小牌子,也或许看不到……但它就在那里。
至于铁路本身,这条线路虽然不长,但很适合消磨一个下午。正如其他评论者所说,这里的设施很不错。我上次乘坐那里的火车已经是好几年前的事了,但当时的工作人员非常热情友好,而且知识渊博。我真心希望随着时间的推移,这条线路能够逐步延长,最终能像博德明蒸汽铁路那样,为游客提供更丰富的体验。为此,志愿者们需要资金,这意味着需要更多的乘客和更多的车票,也意味着需要更大更好的指示牌!
