Churnet Valley Railway (1992) PLC Reviews 

A wonderful welcome from the volunteer staff began when we arrived at the car park and continued at the station shop.
The carriages were immaculately restored and clean. Everyone of the staff were so polite and pleasant to talk to.
The scenery on the journey was lovely.
A fabulous experience. Thank you.

We had a lovely trip, staff were kind, friendly & knowledgeable. The cake was delish & the brews were hot. Lovely scenery & a change from a coffee shop!

I booked this as it popped up on Instagram and it wasn't too far away for us to travel. It was so good, the volunteers are so helpful, we were checked in without any issues and then straight onto the dining cart. The seats and the carriage and so comfortable and clean, the staff are super friendly on board and the weather was on our side so the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend for a day out whether youre a "train" person or not.

Much more comfortable temperature this trip compared to two weeks previously. Train ran at its normal speed which gave added ventilation during the journey. The food was served nice and hot. Overall real value for money and very enjoyable.
Staff, as always, were very pleasant and happy to assist where needed.

Lovely views, lovely food and friendly staff.

A lovely relaxing train journey whilst enjoying coffee and a piece of cake.

All staff warm and welcoming.

The staff/volunteers at Churnet Valley are so friendly and welcoming, it starts as soon as you enter the carpark! Tea room was reasonably priced and good quality. A lovely ride through beautiful countryside with announcements along the way to keep you informed.

The staff how welcoming they were and how tidy the station was tea room very hood

We had a visit for thirty of our singing group.
They all had a great time and thought what good value the Spuds and Steam package was.

This was our second trip and the only criticism I have is totally out of your control. Nature has bloomed since the last time and some of the views we enjoyed last time weren't available because of the trees/foliage.
When I booked, I was convinced I'd booked one gluten free breakfast bacon roll. However, just whilst I was waiting for my husband to be ready, I flicked through the printout of our booking and was mortified to see there wasn't a gf option booked, so I quickly cooked my own and brought it with me. When I booked in I mentioned this to the lady and she checked and there was indeed a gf bacon roll booked for me; just a shame it didn't show on my printouts of the booking. Maybe something to check with your system?

Booked as a Father’s day gift the Bacon Butty and Tea. Both parents were thrilled. Beautiful countryside and the Bacon Bap was huge such a lovely experience .

As always the journey was exceptional and the staff always smiling. Myself and family members just loved the train rides. We live locally and to spend 2 hours at night or day on the train is just bliss listening to the chug chug of the train moving and the whistle x

Both of us had a great time ,food was fantastic that's good coming from a ex chef lol , This was a early birthday present for my wife for the 25th ,the only let down was I did ask if the staff could sing Happy birthday to my wife but sadly this didn't happen:( but it didn't spoil our day .
Well done 👏 everyone.

Lovely day out,very friendly staff ,would recommend

Great experience and service from all the staff involved.
Lovely breakfast.

Thanks for a great afternoon.
Great to see everyone in uniform and well presented. Really well organised, everybody happy to help, service on the train was excellent. The curry was very tasty.
Ride through the countryside was nice.
Plenty of car parking space. Maybe could have a few more disabled places.
Maybe for future, if there was somewhere to get of and stretch legs while the engine changed ends.

Booked for the breakfast train which proved to be excellent. Food very good and served piping hot. Comfortable spacious seats. Staff very pleasant and enthusiastic. All at a very reasonable price. Well done would highly recommend
