点评:It’s a bit of a ‘Hit and Miss’ situation when you’re only in the area for a few days. You have to book the train ahead, so you check the weather forecasts, but then find the trains are all booked on the good days. (There’s no refunds or transferring days).
We booked for a day when we knew there was a possibility of mist, but went in with our eyes open. Before we boarded we were informed that if the winds at the summit exceeded 40mph we’d only be able to proceed to a certain point, and qualify for a £10 refund. In the event, we were able to travel on to the summit, despite a stiff wind. Visibility at the summit was very poor, but never mind, that’s nature.
We were lucky to have compartment A, so had a Birds Eye view at the front, sat with the driver/conductor. The views are indeed stunning. However, the driver’s microphone wasn’t working in either direction, so we were denied the opportunity of learning more about the stunning surroundings. Very disappointing, and no apology, unfortunately.
That said, we enjoyed our trip. Be prepared though: it can get very cold at the summit, and windy. Take enough clothing! You get very limited time at the top, so prioritise: food and drink, toilet, or queuing to get a photo at the trig point - you won’t have time for them all.
翻译:如果你只在该地区停留几天,那么这种情况就有点“碰运气”了。你必须提前预订火车,所以你查看了天气预报,但后来发现火车都在好天气被预订了。(没有退款或换乘日期)。
我们预订了一天的票,我们知道可能会有雾,但我们睁大了眼睛进去了。登机前,我们被告知,如果山顶的风速超过 40 英里/小时,我们只能继续前往某个地点,并有资格获得 10 英镑的退款。结果,尽管风很大,我们还是能够继续前往山顶。山顶的能见度很差,但没关系,这就是大自然。
我们很幸运地坐在了 A 车厢,所以可以从前面鸟瞰,坐在司机/乘务员旁边。景色确实令人惊叹。然而,司机的麦克风在两个方向都不起作用,所以我们失去了了解更多令人惊叹的周围环境的机会。非常令人失望,不幸的是,没有道歉。
尽管如此,我们还是喜欢这次旅行。但要做好准备:山顶可能会非常冷,而且风很大。带足够的衣服!你在山顶的时间非常有限,所以要优先考虑:食物和饮料、厕所,或者在三角点排队拍照——你没有时间兼顾所有这些。
