Reviews of Telford Steam Railway
J. R.
Not a far journey but still very worth it, friendly volunteers and it's all fun even with a miniature railway 🚂.
Certainly worth a stop by and try to support them.
Got a magnet that will be on my father in law's fridge in South Africa.

If you have kids, the Telford Steam Railway is definitely worth a visit. They've definitely made the most out of the relatively short track they have and there is a tunnel, which younger children always love. There's also a miniature (ride on) railway at one stop and a very good model railway at the other. An added bonus is that the cafe offers good food at very reasonable prices.
R. B.
Had a great day on my Diesel Experience driving up and down the line in my "little" 52 tonne Class 08 locomotive. None of the volunteer staff could have been more friendly, knowledgeable or enthusiastic and really added to the day. Everything from the the breakfast bap through the model railway to the driving the train itself along the very picturesque line was first rate. An excellent experience that both my partner and I will remember for a very long time.

Great to be able to get out and support a heritage railway. Even if you don't like trains the cafe is welcoming and good value.

Friendly little railway.
Great for kids , not too long to be boring for them and has a miniature railway to ride on at Spring Village station.
At Horsehay there's a cafe and large model railway to view.
The trains depart one station and travel about a mile then return almost to the original point but then branches off to the other station.
The line layout is an inverted "Y" shape.

What a great experience... The Polar Express train ride was great. It was like an interactive theatre performance. The kids loved it! The staff/actors were amazing, the story really came to life. The hot chocolate and cookies were rubbish but who cares, bring your own! Well worth the money
H. S.
Visited for the Polar Express and all the hype lived up to the expectations. It was a truly exceptional experience from start to finish, it was so realistic the kids actually believed they went to the North Pole!
The actors and actresses were absolutely brilliant and made it feel so real. There was a glow on all the kids faces.
The station and steam train were amazing as well as the cafe and on board refreshments.
Highly recommend this to anyone with kids. One tip is to make sure you read the info as most kids wear night suits, recommend these are warm as it can get quite cold waiting for the train.
C. R.
OMG! This event is fab. Is expensive but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Was magical, exciting and fun. I have to say the Conductor we had on the Comet carriage was amazing!! He really got into character and looked the part. He was lovely and made the experience even better. Meeting Santa on the train was amazing and it was a really good Santa. Everyone (even the adults) got the magical bells as well so that was an added unexpected bonus.
R. L.
Attended the polar express event... outstanding. My son was in awe... as was I! Truly an amazing experience and the staff make it!!! The actors hired to play the roles were entertaining, enthusiastic and selling to their character!! Booking again for 2020!!!
S. H.
Visited once for The Polar Express in December. It was a magical evening, with great music, food stalls and model railway. The train journey itself was great, recreating all the memorable parts of the film. Kids loved it.
Z. L.
We visited here last weekend, and couldn't believe its a train we hadn't been on with our son before. It was a lovely train ride with additional bits to see such as the steam tram, model railway and cafe if you feel. There is also the smaller gauge to ride on. Both of my children had lots of fun here, and it was so very reasonably priced. The staff there were friendly and happy to talk about the line and future plans too.
We will certainly be returning again!
C. R.
We had an amazing time at Telford Steam Railway. Everyone there was so friendly. The footplate experience was something I'll never forget.
r. h.
Fab well organised trip to the polar express. Staff very welcoming and all safety pointed out clearly.
M. B.
Great venue. Meet train enthusiasts, ride on the model trains and visit the model train museum and then go meet rocket the steam engine who will take you for a trip down the railway line. Perfect for all ages.
P. S.
Great morning out with our grandson on his first steam train trip . Its a shame the train was only a diesel. But looking forward to our winter polar ride in December
J. W.
Very enthusiastic people, but very short ride, and sadly not on a steam train as it was not working. Disappointing, but the model railway set up at the end was well worth a visit.
M. W.
A great operation for a fledging preservation, lots to see and do and keep the children very excited. Volunteers were very engaging and helpful.
s. w.
Just had a trip on this 1 mile track railway.Lovely to see so many young people interested in this.They are quite knowledgeable too.Memories from my childhood when day trips to the seaside by train were our holidays
K. T.
Interesting place for steam railway enthusiasts. Many old engines are being restored and there are carriages available to hire for corporate team building exercises.
In winter the Polar Express is a popular destination so tickets for that event must be bought in advance.
They are currently planning to move the line and extend it so looking for volunteers to help.
J. a.
July 2021..now open only £5 each... Nice little place, I like it as not pretentious and rough round edges, my kids love the big indoor model railway, the big train ride isn't too long So kids don't get bored and staff talk to you on the train. Cafe with limited menu. Staff work hard and are friendly and informative. There are Small trains to ride on as well for a quid, picnic area and toilets, small gift shop, check timetables as some days are diesel trains running too
P. B.
The Polar Express was very well managed and the actors taking part superb. We loved the young singer who can only have been 12/13. Our conductor in Donner was great and very energetic. Altogether a lovely experience except I could not find the loo at the end
M. R.
Went on the polar express ride, such an awsome experience. The whole set was very well prepared and it was just magical for the children. The actors were excellent and all the staff gave 100% to the children's fun and enjoyment. We'll worth the money and a huge thank you to all tge staff involved.
C. L.
A fantastic, well organized venue. Staff very friendly and made you feel part of the show. I don't no who was more excited the kids or us. A great experience, I highly recommend this. This will be a lovely memory.
J. P.
Magical experience for children of all ages. I went along with my daughter, son-in-law & 8yr old granddaughter as you have to book for 4 people, we were in the premium carriage which I thought was very expensive, but for that you get your golden ticket which the conductor punches your initial on, a hot chocolate, large cookie & a lovely polar express bag which contained 4 beautiful polar express mugs (exceptional quality) everyone receives a lovely bell from santa & the entertainment on board was fun, just seeing the delight & excitement on the children's faces made the cost worth every penny xx
B. R.
Magical for kids young and old. Can’t recommend this enough, it’s become part of our Christmas tradition 10/10
R. E.
It is magical for children and enjoyed by all age's. However felt this year, it wasn't the high standard as previously and the hot chocolate was cold and very weak maybe because we were on the 8pm one. Not sure we will go back next year after yesterday's experience.
r. c.
Last week ( Friday 3rd December) we attended the Polar Train Ride and we are glad we did. Although the Park and ride was a bit of a hassle we arrived 35 minutes before our trip on the train and was politely greeted by staff. The tea room is quaint and the kids entertainer was fun too with silly cheesy jokes and tricks. Not much food choice, so eat before you travel.
Once called to the platform, the magic starts. Sadly not much decoration and the snow machine was not very effective. There was a bit of a wait, but when the train arrived, WOW what an atmosphere. There was a little performance with the conductor and a Boy, the music kicked in and we were on the Polar Express. Hot Chocolate, Cookies and the main man. We have read reviews and everyones idea of Santa is different, yes Santa did have a short beard, but very friendly and plenty of photo oppotunities. The Train runs slow and although you don't travel far, its about great family time and it's what you make it. There was a shop area after the experience, usual inflated prices but no pressure to buy. Thank you everyone. Special mention to the gentleman who help my mother with the wheelchair
T. S.
I went on the Christmas special, the Polar express, and it was fantastic, the children loved it, and the staff were so professional, just such a fantastic day.
S.
Went for the polar express and what a joy it was. From start to finish it gave a brilliant Christmas feel, from snow on the station station to being welcomed on the train. all the actors on the train inc the ladies and conducter and the brilliant children singers/boy actor were absolutely brilliant and made the children's evening, even inc the villan which was scary but made the Scene even better. Top marks to all of the cast inc santa and elf. Brill night. Thank you. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks for cookie, hot chocolate and Christmas bell. Loved it
D. C.
For our visit we were so well looked after l couldn't thank them enough - great time spent at this wonderful attraction
A.
A small but very satisfactory work-in-progress preservation railway.
Standard-guauge stock on use on day of visit Riding stock in good condition. Still a limited line but progress to date bodes well for ultimate achievement of goal of Ironbridge powe-station site, served by comfortable BR coaching stock.
Staff/volunteers met helpful and informative.
Lacking is back-up paper literature, leaflets, map etc., and especially a stock book, along with history (and plans for) the line. website is not enough. Without documents in hand it could be easy for a first-time visitor to miss that there are indeed three campuses, albeit close together.
An especial gem is the two-foot-gauge, wood-fired steam tramway loco (vertical boiler), plus its trailer, with its rough ride round a tight-radius circular track... like being on a small model-railway layout!
This, with the story of its two cousins in Argentina certainly merits a booklet in its own right (I should be pleased to volunteer to write it).
The whole railway is a well-worth-visiting gem.
H. L.
Enjoyed our polar express experience.snow machine on platform failed so was a little disappointing. ALSO One downfall no baby changing facilities so bare that in mind, we had a 9 month old not good enough.
S. J.
Short heritage railway only about a mile of track but very enjoyable, Horsehay and Dawley a quaint little station set in a tree lined cutting. The staff are really helpful and friendly and a cafe is open on operating days with drinks and hot food. Diesel running day was £10 for a return journey all 25 for unlimited trips.
B. C.
A brilliant experience that the whole family can share.
A hokden ticket, magician, model trains, cafe and toilets before you start.
On the platform there's a snowman, hobo with trackside fire, music, the boy in his bedroom, the train arrival and the conductor.
On the train there are dancing chefs, cookies, cocoa, gifts, clapping, drumming on the tables, the boy, a singing ghostly girl, carol singing, the conductor stamping your ticket, the hobo, the arrival at the north Pole, the passing sleigh, father Christmas, and bells.
Back at the station there are photo opportunities and a gift shop.
C. P.
If you like your steam piping hot and curling majestically out of an old puffer, this is the place for you. The toilet facilities are out of this world and worth the entrance price alone. Perhaps they might plug the round holes between cubicles but that's only a minor issue. I recommend the double egg and chips from the cafe which is a snip at £14. Sadly they were out of eggs but the chips were good value and Norman serenaded me as I ate and inhaled the steam. Will visit again. x
A. c.
Amazing time for my son Birthdays
A. H.
Polar Express Amazing experience.
And I'm not easily impressed.
I can't tell you about it because it would spoil it, but it was brilliant.
Well organized event.
Warm areas to wait in and be entertained at the same time.
Nice food and drink.
And the main event was great.
The staff are brilliant also.
P. C.
We followed signs for the railway as we were passing through the area and
while it wasn't open that day there was a Peckett tank engine in steam. We spoke to a pleasant volunteer who told us about plans to extend the line to Ironbridge.
Nice little railway, we'll go again.
C. W.
Absolutely amazing experience the polar express. The staff were so entertaining and friendly. The gift shop was reasonably priced. We loved every minute. Something happens at the station which was magical i wont spoil the surprise.
D. M.
Had a fab time on the polar express. Very enjoyable had a lovely evening. Had a lovely Christmas feel. Wont be disappointed
D. P.
Polar Express train ride experience was amazing! Absolutely brilliant! Really well done, kids and grown-ups loving it. Feels like you're part of the film/book. All the staff makes everyone part of the journey.
R. P.
Polar Express experience was every bit as magical as we hoped 👌
T. P.
We have just got back from our trip on the Polar Express to see the big man himself. What a fantastic evening! Kids, parents and grandparents all loved it. The staff on the train were amazing. Well done Telford Railway! We will be back next year
W. M.
Wonderful Polar Express experience. Children and adults really enjoyed it. Thanks for a great time.
K. H.
We are on our way home from the Polar Express. To say it was amazing is an understatement. Congratulations to the organisers and staff. You have made both of my granddaughters 6 and 4 years old believe the Polar Express is real and that they actually went to the North Pole to see the real Santa. Who needs to spend thousands on a trip to Lapland. Fantastic, we cant wait to come again next year and bring the whole family. thank you all for a memorable Christmas experience.
K. B.
A fantastic trip on the Polar Express. Very well organised. A magical experience for the children. Staff were friendly and those who enacted scenes from the Polar Express were amazing. An excellent afternoon. We will definitely do it again.
l. p.
Updating my review. Just been on the Polar Express Christmas Train. 5 stars is not enough!! Absolutely brilliant. Enthusiastic staff and there were plenty of laughs and smiles. Worth every penny spent!!! Keep it up!!!
C. C.
Absolutely wonderful place run by volunteers so only open on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays. Except for the Polar Express at Christmas, amazing experience or a real engine that the kids will adore! The event sells out very early each year (around Easter) so sign up early for next year!
S. M.
had a great time on polar express telford steam railway
S. W.
Great day out for the family took my 5 year old for his birthday and enjoyed himself on trains
K. W.
Lovely experience for kids, loved The Polar Express, staff so helpful and will go the extra Mile
I. S.
Brilliant short journey consisting of 3 stops. You get to enjoy whatnot was like to be a passenger in a steam train when they were in full force. The journey is expected to last even longer when the tracks are connected all the way up to iron bridge in the next 5-7 years time. Good value for money, and friendly volunteers. Highly recommended for couples with young children.
L.
Excellent event,great idea for the kids.
Our 8year old loved it when the conductor let her wear his hat and said" we have a new conductor in town". Free gifts for all the kids and a lovely hot Chocolate and melt in your mouth cookie provided on the train.
Great day out for all.
C. A.
We went to the Santas express. It was lovely. A nice atmosphere while waiting, staff were nice on the carriage. We were promptly served hot chocolate and cookies, both of which were delicious. We found the book reading part a bit dull, but it was ok. We enjoyed the singing and atmosphere. Santa was brilliant, really authentic. The santa that waves from the platform was a bit disheveled looking. It looks like his costume needs a good clean!! But that's not something the younger children would notice. I was also disappointed that there wasnt a huge christmas tree at the "North Pole" I was also surprised as I didnt realise it's only a short strip of track so we shuffled up and down the same bit numerous times which was amusing. Again, only the older children noticed this.
All in all I think it's worth the money, but could be improved slightly with a few tweaks and investment in the standard of carriage and decorations at the "north pole"
A. R.
A trip on the Polar Express train ride is the perfect way for little ones to meet Santa. A short journey on a steam train, a hot chocolate, a cookie, a few Christmas song sing alongs and the audio book. Then you get to meet Santa in your seat and, if your child has been good, they'll be presented with a bell (just like in the film). There's the obligatory gift shop at the end but also plenty of crafting activities too.
Free park and ride available. Book early as it goes fast.
K. B.
Sooo exciting for the polar express. The experience lasted approximately 1 ½ hours and when you get off there is very reasonably priced food, free crafts for the children and a small Christmas shop ( bit expensive at £10 for a keyring). Very enjoyable.
M. F.
Went to the polar express at Telford Steam railway. Got to say it is absolutely worth the money. Easy to get to, lasts around 2.5 - 3 hours. Food stalls are excellent also. Everything runs smoothly with virtually no queuing. I would recommend anyone to book the polar express but do it early as tickets sell out 11-10 months before the event.
B. C.
Took a trip to the North Pole with 7 other family members ranging from 3 years old to 57 years old. North Pole was wet and cold but the hot chocolate warmed us up. Give it a try......but listen out for the sleigh bell or Santa will know if you still believe???
L. S.
We went for the Polar Express and it was brilliant from start to finish. All the actors were clearly enjoying themselves and had great energy. Definitely recommend going, if you can.
J. B.
Just been for the polar express experience it was well organised and staff were fantastic especially the wonderful lady volunteer who got us on the earlier train to be with our granddaughter, it was a truly magical place. Well done keep it up and hopefully see you next year.
P.
Very good place to ride in carriages being pulled by diesel engines
V. M.
Polar express, absolutely brilliant, would highly reccomend. Can't wait to do this experience again.
W.
The volunteers were very friendly, the kids loved the trains. Clearly there are alot of plans in the future to make it better, in places it was a bit rough around the edges but all in all, an enjoyable and cheap afternoon.
H. C.
I went on the polar express with my grandchildren and it was the best experience I've ever had . It was magical, exciting and most of all the whole train came alive with the magic of Christmas. Well done to everyone who made it happen.
A. L.
Absolutely loved this whole experience as did my 9 year old grandson. The staff were amazing and the organisation was first class. Everything and more than I'd expected the occasion to be. Truly magical
M. S.
Great place to take the kids. A trip on a steam train a cafe with beautiful cakes, a number of different museums illustrating the history of both the area and the railway itself as well as ride on miniature trains and a tram. There's also a model railway exhibition and there's free parking. Well worth a visit.
D. B.
Ideal for family's but if you have children over 7 years old I can guarantee "I'm bored" want to play on Fortnight. Other than that cheap afternoon out only Adults pay £7 per person as kids go free. There's a cafe but would recommended it's better to bring a picnic in ideal weather.
R. M.
Amazing experience made extra special by the snow we had
L. “. C.
Brilliant Time. Wonderful Volunteers and Staff.
D. C. -. L.
This is a great attraction, the staff are fanatics about steam and diesel engines.
If you haven't been, go! It is a family friendly venue.
Worth the visit, price is reasonable as well and makes a great day out
S. S.
Polar express is a great treat for the kids! Well organised. Includes a type of park and ride shuttle bus. Beautiful old steam locomotives.
T. M. D.
Good experience on the Polar Express. The Grandchildren really enjoyed it. Ages 2 ,3 ,7 it was a good start to the Christmas festivities.
D. L.
If you are interested in trains or model trains then this may be of particular interest to you.
Our children loved the steam train, steam tram and mini -train, wanting to ride multiple times repeatedly.
The small gift shop also sells specialist train toys and memorabilia at a reasonable price so could be a useful stop if you need that specialist toy for any upcoming birthday.
l.
the whole day was nice, the staff were lovely and talkative, no hiding when people arrived. The queue for Santa's grotto was a little on the long side but no longer than Telford shopping centre at this time of the season. Value for money excellent and well worth the wait
N. H.
Great day out for the return of the Class 37 diesel.
Staff on hand were very talkative with information and very friendly, great little railway
S. C.
Christmas magic on the Polar Express ☺️🎅🎄
L. C.
Visited for a polar express themed Christmas journey, it was wonderful and so well done, organisation was very good also.... Which is good considering just how many people visit. We'll definitely return.
L. R.
Visited the Polar Express and apart from a bit of a long wait at the park and ride the event was truly magical. My children were literally blown away by the experience. Believe!
W. J.
A wonderful day out. Loved the tram and brake van ride. Big thanks to the trainee fireman and Phil the brake van volunteer for being so knowledgeable and making the visit more enjoyable.
e. c.
A truly magical day - the enthusiasm of the staff was wonderful, pitched just right, and a lovely blend of realism and wonder. My grandsons were enchanted, and so were the adults, all of whom 'believe' ! A must for all those who cherish Xmas.
R. H.
I have volunteered there in the past and the folks that run it are passionate about trains. You get a chance to experience the smell sound and close up experience of trains from a bygone age. Worth checking the calendar for events.
J. 6.
Polar express, great time, kids loved it and the grown ups, definitely recommend
B. T.
Experienced the Polar Express for second time in 3 years. Truly magic experience, staff helpful and polite, used park and ride with free bus for polar express
P. H.
What a little gem.
The TSR team were great hosts for a group of our Scouts setting a new world record #railwayrecord to raise funds to go to the 2019 world Scout jamboree. Thank you so much for your help.
Loads of history, friendly, helpful staff and well worth a visit. Just wish we weren't in a rush to set a record & could have stayed to look at the model railway, other locos & rolling stock & the workshops.
J. B.
Went on The Polar Express, we loved every minute of it. Fabulous staff were great fun, will definitely try and get tickets for next year.
P. B.
It was the best Christmas event I've ever witnessed. Amazingly good! Wonderful performers, excellently run and organised. Would recommend to all.

Polar Express could have decorated the area were the train goes to get Santa. Could have put fairy lights and Christmas trees. Few lights etc. Would have made it more magical

The old Loco shed, miniature train rides and steam railway workshop in Horsehay Telford has a lot to offer. However be aware the facilities are run by volunteers who are justifiably proud of their endeavours in maintaining and preserving these old rail facilities, engines and carriages. Its an interesting site ones familyshould be able to enjoy a ride on the miniature rail line.
