Sean Sharples enjoyed his recent Diesel Driving Experience on the railway He said : "I'd just like to say a great big thank you to you and your team ... For making my Diesel Driving Experience absolutely fantastic, even my wife enjoyed herself (and she's completely non-plussed about trains). Paul was an excellent instructor and his professional attitude towards the day made it both exciting and interesting......and they are all a credit to your railway. I will be giving it a serious consideration about joining your team and becoming a working member.... May I just say again - Thanks very much for a very good and full on day.! (02/05/2017)
