Reviews
This is an awesome site with lots of things to see and do. It is targeted at those who prefer diesels rather than steam, and includes a number of interesting exhibits. Of particular importance is the prototype HST which now runs on occasional weekends. The classic Valenta engines produce their famous sound giving an amazing experience. Other exhibits include a collection of diesels, including a maintenance shed, a model railway, a miniature railway and a selection of preserved buses. Definitely well worth a visit. Check the 125 Group's web site first if you're after the HST to ensure you're not disappointed.

Really great. The miniature railway is the best and only 50p a go and lots of different trains to ride on and a good journey

Lots of engineering work in progress to see on vintage trains and buses. The staff seem to love discussing the work. Great for anyone who likes history and engineering. The rideable mini railway shuts down for the winter though.
