Coach operators and Groups

We are happy to send you a copy of our Group LeafletFor many years we have been welcoming coach operators and group organisers on a regular basis. Thanks to your input we have added a whole package of exciting additional options in recent years.

Arriving in our car park at Ravenglass there is free, dedicated parking for at least three coaches on a given day.

Level and close access to the trains is also true of the gift shop, café and loos. Our guards volunteer to assist passengers to their reserved seats.

At our terminus station of Dalegarth the Eskdale Room can be reserved for lunches, afternoon teas and more, while passengers benefit from all the advantages the new visitor centre affords. Again access is easy and level to the upper floor of the centre, Fellbites Eatery, the Scafell Gift Shop and the loos. A ramped walkway to the Eskdale Room is available for those not wanting to use the stairs.

Drivers and tour leaders travel on the trains free and enjoy refreshments of their choice too!

We currently offer the following packages, but would be delighted to tailor an outing specific to your requirements …

Steam to the Hills – a relaxing return journey starting at Ravenglass with a stopover duration at Dalegarth of your choosing. This is our biggest seller. Check out the rest of our website to see why!

One Happy Family – a great deal for coach operators staying in the Lake District for more than one night, or running more than one excursion to the area in the year. One Happy Family includes a cruise with our sister company, Ullswater ‘Steamers’ on a heritage vessel from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding and a full return journey on the Railway for one heavily discounted price.

Steam on the Wild Side – A whistle-stop tour of two attractions within a mile of each other. Make the return journey on the Railway in the morning and visit Muncaster Castle, World Owl Centre and gardens in the afternoon.
