	Footplate Taster Gift Voucher Ride on the locomotive with the crew on the 21 mile trip from Tenterden to Bodiam and back. You are accompanied at all times by one of our driver/instructors who will meet and brief you about the experience and will explain the functions of the driver and fireman throughout the trip. This experience is not a 'hands-on' trip but continues to be a most popular choice both in cost and as a 'taster' to the other experiences listed below. We hope that by watching the teamwork that exists between the crew you will want to return for an Introductory Course to learn the skills needed to drive the engine yourself. Tasters are available throughout the year on selected days and at selected times. Please ring the Commercial Office on 01580 765155 for more details. Price: £80.00 Please add recipients name below and their address, if different to the delivery address.

An initial safety and etiquette briefing is quickly followed by despatching one or two light engines for the day's duty. The principles of interlocking and block working are examined before a packed lunch is delivered along with the token on the 1:15 ex Tenterden steam service.
