Seating problems and journey cut short :(
Unfortunately the train was unable to go all the way, due to mechanical problems and had to go back. The cake was lovely and there was a choice of coffee, but we hadn't realised we had to allow time for picking these up from the station. A lot of the carriages had just 2 people and we were a group of 4, so struggled to find somewhere to sit together and ended up at the back of the train in the bigger more enclosed carriages having to share with 2 others, which meant we had no window seats and no table. Had we arrived earlier we probably would have gotten better seats, but this wasn't mentioned on booking.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback regarding your recent journey. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the choice of coffee and found the cake to be lovely. However, we are very sorry for the disruptions and inconveniences you experienced. We deeply regret that a mechanical issue prevented the train from completing its full route, forcing an early return. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we are sharing your notes with our booking and station teams to ensure our pre-arrival instructions are clearer regarding seating policies and refreshment collection times. Thank you once again for your patience and for helping us improve our guest experience.
Kind regards

Fish and Chip Train 🚂
We had a lovely evening in the Fish and Chip train yesterday. The food was delicious, served from a fish and chip van prior to getting in the train and then we watched the train arrive which was brilliant. I would highly recommend this trip and it was great value for money 💰

What a lovely nostalgic morning spent…
What a lovely nostalgic morning spent on the Churnet Valley Railway. We purchased the "standard travel' tickets which allows us to travel to the end of the line and back again.
With hindsight, we should have purchased, for a few extra pounds, the "rover" ticket. This allows so much more options to get on and off at the different stations.
We would probably do this next time. All the staff are a bunch of lovely people who are pleased to make your visit enjoyable.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are absolutely delighted by your kind words regarding our amazing staff, and I will ensure your compliments are passed along to the team. However, we are very sorry that your journey was disrupted when the train was unable to clear the incline, resulting in an extended stationary delay. We completely understand that sitting on a motionless train for a long period is disappointing and not the experience we intend to provide. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback.

Staff were great and friendly. Food was perfect we had the breakfast and felt the whole trip was value for money but there were several stops of over 15 mins where the train did not move was disappointing. No communication over speaker to advise why it happened so could be improved

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are absolutely delighted to hear that our staff were great and friendly, that your breakfast was perfect, and that you found the overall trip to be excellent value for money. However, we are very sorry for the frustration caused by the multiple delays where the train remained stationary for over 15 minutes. While operational stops can occasionally occur, we firmly believe that our passengers should always be kept well-informed. It is disappointing to hear that no explanation was provided over the speaker system, and we have addressed this communication failure directly with our train crew to ensure updates are given during any future delays. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back for another trip.

Absolutely wonderful Sunday lunch. We were bought the tickets as a present and it did not disappoint. 3 course lunch was so tasty. Service was fab and the actual journey was great seeing the countryside. They cater for all types of people and have a special carriage for wheelchair users, although we did not use it. Highly recommend

We were three adult ladies who had gone on the trip to mark a year since my husband , their dad passed away as he loved steam engines.
We however had never been to Churnet Valley Railway so it was a new experience, and it was an evening train ride which was lovely.
Sadly we missed out on the jacket potato for the train so we had some food in the lovely little cafe, there was a chip van outside in the car park and people did bring them on the train( l would do the same next time)
It was a lovely steam train ride in wonderful scenery and l would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of going.
An absolutely lovely experience that made a sad day a little better.
Staff were lovely, good service in the cafe and the booking process was very easy.

Saturday 15th August: Bombay Express Dining Train organised for members of the North Staffs National Trust Association.
North Staffs National Trust Association Bombay Express Lunch - a member's report.
"Well, what a glorious summer’s day it turned out to be. The atmosphere at the Churnet Valley railway station platform was electric. The sound of the vintage hissing steam train adding to the sense of excitement you always experience at a train station.
24 members had travelled to one of Staffordshire’s delightful spots, which was made even more enjoyable with the addition of a steam engine. It was good to be out and about to enjoy a journey as enjoyed for many years by the Victorians. There were a number of smart waiting coaches each one with its own individual name ready to take us on board.
Everyone was determined to enjoy the Bombay Express train, and we weren’t disappointed. The excellent 3-course meal was served by the smartly dressed staff who provided full table service throughout the journey, while the magnificent engine threaded its way through the countryside effortlessly.
Thank you John Pedrazzini for choosing the right venue, the right day, and of course we were blessed with beautiful weather.
Richard Clamp"
