点评:Chosen as a special trip for my brother's 60th birthday, the main attraction was to travel by steam train as advertised in the promotional literature.
The date we booked in June was cancelled at short notice by West Coast Railways, incurring incovenience and expense to us as we had paid for overnight accommodation.
The rescheduled date in July was substituted with a diesel at short notice and without explanation, which was deeply disappointing given the premium cost of the experience.
In addition, customer service left much to be desired. The buffet carriage offered only prepacked snacks and staff onboard are focused on selling extras rather than providing helpful information about the journey.
As West Coast Railways did not deliver as advertised on either occasion, I would not recommend this experience. If you get the steam train, lucky you.
翻译:我弟弟60岁生日时,特意选择了这次旅行,主要目的就是乘坐宣传单上宣传的蒸汽火车。
我们6月份预订的日期被西海岸铁路公司临时取消,这给我们带来了不便和费用,因为我们已经支付了住宿费。
7月份改期的日期,他们临时通知我们换成了柴油火车,而且没有任何解释,考虑到这次旅行的高昂价格,这真是令人失望。
此外,客户服务也有很多不足之处。自助餐车厢只提供预先包装好的小吃,车上的工作人员专注于推销额外的东西,而不是提供有用的旅行信息。
由于西海岸铁路公司两次都没有像宣传的那样提供服务,我不推荐这次体验。如果你能乘坐蒸汽火车,那真是幸运。
