About Ecclesbourne Valley Railway Footplate Experiences
Steam Locomotive Footplate Experience
Live that dream with our Steam Locomotive Footplate Experience course. Try your hand at both driving and firing one of our medium-sized steam locomotives for a 10-mile return journey with one-to-one tuition from our experienced crews.
Drive a Diesel Experience
Spend the whole day learning to our heritage diesel trains along the valley. You will take the controls of one of our heritage railcars under the guidance of one of our skilled instructors and take it in turns to drive to Duffield and back. Take in the local atmosphere with a freshly prepared lunch in the Station Cafe and enjoy a tour of Wirksworth site and our facilities. For the other half of the day, you will feel the power of one of our main line diesel locomotives.
