点评:We had an amazing day at the railway rounding off a week long boating holiday. We had pre booked our tickets and an afternoon tea a couple of weeks in advance, on the day we parked easily and departed from Wroxham. The platform was really busy and I really felt for the staff because despite asking people to stand back, let the passengers disembark, let them clean the cabins quickly first etc, people were still desperately trying to get onboard - we saw one group asked to step out of the carriage and wait which was good as they had completely jumped the queue. There was no need for any of this as the train is long..! Everyone got to ride the train, everyone got to sit together. The carriages are dinky! I was expecting a full size railway but it was not (I read later about the different gauge!) The carriages seat groups of 4 together comfortably, if you were a family of 5 or 6 with littlies on laps you could all squeeze in. The journey is about 45 mins from Wroxham to Aylsham, it was so so beautiful! We saw deer in the fields too! Our Afternoon Tea at the Whistle Stop cafe was perfect! Gingham table cloth all laid out ready for us ❤️ We decided to take our time rather than rushing lunch to catch the next train back, kids loved seeing the workshop, reading all about how steam engines works and seeing the videos. The gift shop was lovely plus the little miniature Thomas! There were some pocket money options but the majority of stock is an expensive hobby for the rail enthusiasts! The ride back was equally charming and I loved the second hand bookshop at Wroxham. The staff, drivers and engineers were all so lovely, happy to talk to us and answer questions or let us photo the trains. We are so glad we visited thank you for having us.
翻译:我们在铁路上度过了美好的一天,为为期一周的乘船度假画上了圆满句号。几周前我们就提前预订了车票和下午茶。当天我们轻松停车后便从沃克斯汉姆出发了。站台上人头攒动,我很同情那里的工作人员——尽管他们反复要求人们退后,让乘客下船,并先快速清理一下车厢,但……人们仍在拼命想挤上火车——我们看到有一群人被要求下车等候,这其实挺好的,因为他们完全插队了。其实根本没必要这样,因为火车很长嘛!!最后每个人都成功上了车,还都能坐在一起。不过那些车厢实在很小!我原以为会是标准尺寸的火车,但事实并非如此(后来我才了解到关于轨距不同的信息!)。这些车厢可以让4个人舒适地坐在一起。如果你是一家五口或六口之家,孩子们还小可以坐在膝下,那你们完全可以一起挤进车里。从沃克斯汉姆到艾尔沙姆的车程大约45分钟,沿途的风景美极了!我们还在田野里看到了小鹿呢!我们在Whistle Stop咖啡馆享用的下午茶堪称完美——格子图案的桌布早已为我们铺好❤️ 我们没有急于吃午饭以便赶下一班火车返回,而是决定慢慢享受时光。孩子们特别喜欢参观工坊,他们认真阅读关于蒸汽机工作原理的介绍,还观看了相关视频。礼品店非常棒,还有那个小尺寸的托马斯火车模型!虽然有一些适合买来当零用礼物的小物件,但店里的大部分商品对于铁路爱好者来说都属于价格不菲的奢侈品。回程的旅程同样迷人,我特别喜欢沃克斯汉姆的那家二手书店。工作人员、司机和工程师们都十分友善,乐于与我们交谈、解答疑问,甚至还允许我们拍摄火车。我们很高兴能来参观,感谢你们的款待!
