点评:My wife surprised me with a trip on the RAT or Real Ale Train. What a fantastic event this was. Nostalgia overload plus real ale, what's not to like! All of the volunteers, those dressed in period costumes on the stations and those serving behind the bars were enthusiastic and willing everyone to have a great time. The trip was two return journeys between Alton and Alresford, one in daylight and one in the evening. When I wasn't at the bar I was leaning out of the window watching the world go by and catching glimpses of the steam locomotive; spectacular both in daylight and after dark. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would recommend to everyone. It was a shame the group of 4 sat close to us decided to take their own food and drink; this is not in the spirit of making this trip. I suspect the organisation needs every penny it can raise to keep on track. It would be catastrophic to lose this slice of our heritage. Well worth a visit, we will return. Thanks to everyone involved with the Watercress Line.
