What Can I Expect

A full day out in Derbyshire on a wonderful Trains & Trams experience! Travel on a vintage bus, a steam train at Ecclesbourne and vintage trams at Crich - and there’s even an English breakfast included too. It’s a great excursion for all ages.

You will be picked up by vintage bus from any one of the North Nottinghamshire departure points, which we think is a mighty fine and fun way to start this fantastic day out. Make sure you wave to passers-by as you head to Wirksworth, the home of the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway.

All aboard for the next steam-hauled departure for a full round trip along Derbyshire’s longest heritage railway line to Duffield and back. During your trip a very tasty English breakfast will be served at your table.

Back onboard your lovely vintage bus and you’ll be headed for the Crich Tramway Village in the heart of Derbyshire Peak District, where you’ll spend the afternoon exploring this brilliant ‘living museum’.

Lovingly-restored vintage single and double-decker electric trams run from the Crich Town End up to the Glory Mine terminus, with stops in between to explore. We loved the sculpture trail, the woodland walk and the bandstand area where there are often activities during the school holidays.

Make sure you spend time in the tramway exhibition halls and no visit to Crich Tramway Village would be complete without popping into the Red Lion (a proper Victorian pub!) and Barnett’s, the traditional sweet shop, for a bag of sweets!

Having done trains and trams all day in Derbyshire, your vintage coach will be waiting to take you back to your original departure point, rounding off your fabulous nostalgia-filled excursion in classic style!
