its a return. From Havenstreet, the train goes one way to a station, then back, then the other way to another station, and then back to where you started.
We are wanting to book and have a compartment to ourselves. We are two adults and two infants. Do we need need to book first class or do we class as 4 persons and therefore get a standard compartment to ourselves? Even though the infants are travelling for free.
A:
You'll get your own compartment if there are 4 or more of you (of any age - including infants). Steve (Gen Manager)
Is this attraction recommended for a two year old? A little worried a hour on the train might be a little long for him. Also is it recommended to book early. Does it get busy in the summer?
A:
Yes I would book, and our children always loved the train ride, just take snacks and something to occupy if your wee one gets bored. It's a lovely place to go.
