Customer Reviews
Louisa Young, Surrey

We bought this signal box experience for my grandpa, he really likes trains so we thought he'd enjoy this day out. He got taught how to use the signalling system and then he was able to signal to the trains that went by, which he really enjoyed. At the end of the day they gave him a certificate, he has it up on his wall!
