Introduction to Driving Gift Voucher
 Join us for a day during which you will learn some of the basic skills required to drive a steam locomotive. Under the eye of an experienced instructor you will take the controls and learn how to move off and stop smoothly. As the day progresses you will have several opportunities to develop your skills, culminating in gently ‘buffering up' your engine to a 20-ton brake van.
ITINERARY
The day starts at 09:00am at Rolvenden Station (TN17 4JP) where participants meet for a Breakfast Bap and a cup of tea during which there's a short safety briefing. Your engine for the day awaits in the platform already in full steam to commence the 'hands-on' part of the day. Careful and patient tuition is given to each participant by a knowledgeable instructor under whose guidance your confidence will grow throughout the day. Lunch is of course provided at Rolvenden and is included in the price of your course. At the end of the day you are presented with a certificate of acheivement together with a souvenir Tee Shirt and Mug. Usual end time is around 5:00pm.
Also included is a visit to the Signal Box and a tour of the locomotive yard and repair shed.
