We take 2 grandsons on narrow gauge steam heritage lines, a local one we visited 4 times in 2019 is reopen, all its prices at up 33%

a family ticket to the next event (2 adults/2 kids) is £70

cant justify that, when we went we were also buying food/drink and gifts

good luck to them

they are having to limit numbers due to covid but costs are the same

Many steam railways are doing this and charging £60 to £70 for a compartment in a carriage it's the only way they can be viable

Many enthusiasts are willing to pay out of sympathy for the railway which are NOT businesses as such

sadly I cant support myself, and certainly not them

for what they want I could drive back to our old house and watch the Ffestiniog Railway all day

for free

the xmas santa train is £70 this year

That maybe so, but let’s see if the prices return to pre-COVID levels when the visitor numbers are increased.

doubt it there are predictions of inflation hitting 5 to 10 percent over the next couple of years as businesses recover their losses

Best is, its a registered charity

I thought they could only ask for donations as such?

we spent over £150 there last year, bit shortsighted to hike prices and lose visitors

Heard today on the radio that Butlins are charging £1000s for holidays at their venues.

Never thought I would ever see that, not in a million years.

That said I wouldn't go to one of those places for SFA.
