What an incredible day out! We visited for the Easter weekend. Started at Alresford and took the shuttle to Ropley, then all the way to the end and back again taking the last service back to Alresford. Ropley was awesome. The miniature railway was well operated and a lot of fun. Queues were very short. The museum / display was well worth visiting. Train rides were comfortable some cabins were even heated.
Absolutely fantastic experience for the family. Lovely steam train and there are different themes throughout the year. You can park in the station car park and use their toilets, then walk over the bridge to get through. Give yourself enough time as there can be queues. Bring your own food/drink as there's limited things available on board.
Our family of 8 booked tickets for the festive illuminations trip on 23rd December and absolutely loved it! So much so that it may just have to become a yearly tradition. We parked at Alton train station where we departed from and found there to be ample parking - but we did arrive about 30mins before our departure time to ensure we got a space. Whilst the train is impressive and the Christmas songs with narration we fantastic, what really made it special for us were the staff and volunteers working there. Everyone was so happy, helpful and informative that they made the trip really special for us. We also got some lovely shots of our family together as the staff/volunteers were always offering to take pictures for us which we greatly appreciated. You can take your own refreshments on board to enjoy food and drink including alcohol but you could also buy refreshments from the buffet cart on the train or at Alresford station where you will stop for around 30mins. You can also pre-order drinks online with your tickets and get them delivered straight to your table which is a good idea. There was such a happy atmosphere on the train with people singing and dancing along to the festive tunes. There’s even choreography with the wristbands flashing to the music and a Christmas quiz! Lots and lots of fun for everyone. You certainly don’t need to be a steam train enthusiast to enjoy the illuminations but if you are, then you’re in for a double treat. The trip lasts around 1hr 45mins along with your 30min stop at Alresford and really is a great day out for all of the family. We would have no hesitation in recommending and we will be looking into the other trips available on the Watercress Line gourmet dining trips / Real Ale Train. Thank you again to all of the team for making it a special occasion for all of our family.
We went for the Christmas light ride and it was amazing, all staff are very welcoming and kind. I would recommend doing this either with friends, family or a couple.Visited onWeekend
Our family always enjoy a trip on the Watercress Line! We have done the special Thomas event and been on the regular train several times, as well as the vintage bus and mini-railway. The stations and trains are so well-kept and the volunteers are exceptionally friendly and helpful and seem passionate about what they do. It's an amazing day out for kids and our little ones are always thrilled when we visit. We will be back again soon, I'm sure!
First visit to Watercress Line for their October Gala. Brilliant experience. Stations are brilliant and Engine Shed at Ropley really looks as though it’s always been there.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
