Steam Trains to the Seaside
Stage Two

The Stage Two course is a practical one day course for 6 people and expands the knowledge that the participant gained while doing a Stage One.

First preparing the locomotive you will then haul a freight train from Minehead to Williton and back, driving one way and firing the other. When not firing and driving you will travel with the Guard on a restored brake van and learn about how his job differs from a normal passenger train while the other participants have their turn on the footplate. The day ends with disposal of the locomotive and presentation of certificates for sucessfully completeing the course.

 

An SEC Stage 2 arrives at Blue Anchor Station From Williton

The cost of this one day course is £250.00 (£50.00 deposit) including lunch and VAT. For more experience driving on the West Somerset Railway please see our Stage 3 Courses.
