Curl up in a cosy carriage
Enjoy a pint with friends on a classic railway carriage. One of our heritage railway carriages – in the winter months (usually January and early February) – is sited just outside of the Buffer Stops on the station platform and offers an atmospheric environment to relax with a beer or hot drink.
