When I went my plans had changed, so I turned up about 3 hours before my booked trip. I explained to the staff both at the surface and in the depot that I was early. They got me to wait around near the boarding queue in case someone didn't turn up; I got to ride about 40 minutes after arriving, taking the last very-cramped place on the train. (I didn't have to stand there the whole time; I was able to look at the other exhibits between trains.) -- Clive D.W. Feather |

Yes, the seats in the tiny train work best one-abreast. Two-abreast is very cosy. (I didn't have to stand there the whole time; I was able to look at the other exhibits between trains.) Yes, there's plenty to see there. However, I think the exhibits need better labelling. In particular, it's not clear what the old stock is. |
