Hi I have received a gift voucher for Christmas and I don't understand where the train goes. How long and how far are the trips? Also I have two dogs, are they allowed on the train?

Hello There I am so sorry for the very late response, I obviously missed it when you first posted it. The line is 2.5 miles long and the return journey takes approximately 40 minutes. It starts at Cranmore and goes to Mendip Vale where you can get out and look at the train being uncoupled and run round a great photo opportunity. There are no shops or cafe at Mendip Vale. Dogs are welcome to travel on the train free of charge as long as they are kept on a lead and kept off the seats. If your voucher is for a steam train ride only then you don't need to book in advance just turn up when we are in steam and take your voucher to the ticket office where we will exchange it for one of our day rover tickets. For more information please see our website.
Could you please advise as to whether this train trip is suitable for disabled persons? I.e. access/ toilets/ cafe.. Thank-you..
