Good - shame it was raining on the date of the activity - wasn’t able to do much when we stopped to 1.5hrs. Staff friendly though

Absolutely fantastic trip. Beautiful scenery, great cafe at Lakeside and plenty of toilets. The staff on the platform were very patient with the tourists who barged under the barriers and got on the carriages first. Their crowd control was exceptional and everyone was kept safe.
