    Ride Class08 from Wallingford to Cholsey, a round-trip exclusive table 11, 17 pounds including an adult and a child. Watch Class08 turn around, there is a section next to the high-speed rail, where the GWR high-speed rail honks its horn to greet us. During the three days of Easter, train activities are everywhere.

    We attended here due to riding on the Polar Express there is no parking at the station but they put on a park and ride from Dicot train station as that has lots of parking. The station its self is very old which work perfect for what we needed to add to the experience.

    We went on the polar express, the station was muddy and wet and given wearing pyjamas to attend was encouraged this wasn't ideal. The train just went backwards and forwards I'm assuming the line is t long enough!? The staff performing on the train were brilliant but overall it's not worth the money.
