Very pleasant experience
Very pleasant experience. We just had the basic ride but we saw the people who were dining on the ride and it looked really nice. Also great bonus that they are dog friendly. Big thumbs up from us over the whole things.

Staff were great and friendly
Staff were great and friendly. Food was perfect we had the breakfast and felt the whole trip was value for money but there were several stops of over 15 mins where the train did not move was disappointing. No communication over speaker to advise why it happened so could be improved

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are absolutely delighted to hear that our staff were great and friendly, that your breakfast was perfect, and that you found the overall trip to be excellent value for money. However, we are very sorry for the frustration caused by the multiple delays where the train remained stationary for over 15 minutes. While operational stops can occasionally occur, we firmly believe that our passengers should always be kept well-informed. It is disappointing to hear that no explanation was provided over the speaker system, and we have addressed this communication failure directly with our train crew to ensure updates are given during any future delays. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back for another trip.
Kind regards

Absolutely wonderful Sunday lunch
Absolutely wonderful Sunday lunch. We were bought the tickets as a present and it did not disappoint. 3 course lunch was so tasty. Service was fab and the actual journey was great seeing the countryside. They cater for all types of people and have a special carriage for wheelchair users, although we did not use it. Highly recommend

We were three adult ladies who had gone…
We were three adult ladies who had gone on the trip to mark a year since my husband , their dad passed away as he loved steam engines.
We however had never been to Churnet Valley Railway so it was a new experience, and it was an evening train ride which was lovely.
Sadly we missed out on the jacket potato for the train so we had some food in the lovely little cafe, there was a chip van outside in the car park and people did bring them on the train( l would do the same next time)
It was a lovely steam train ride in wonderful scenery and l would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of going.
An absolutely lovely experience that made a sad day a little better.
Staff were lovely, good service in the cafe and the booking process was very easy.

Saturday 15th August: Bombay Express Dining Train organised for members of the North Staffs National Trust Association.
North Staffs National Trust Association Bombay Express Lunch - a member's report.
"Well, what a glorious summer’s day it turned out to be. The atmosphere at the Churnet Valley railway station platform was electric. The sound of the vintage hissing steam train adding to the sense of excitement you always experience at a train station.
24 members had travelled to one of Staffordshire’s delightful spots, which was made even more enjoyable with the addition of a steam engine. It was good to be out and about to enjoy a journey as enjoyed for many years by the Victorians. There were a number of smart waiting coaches each one with its own individual name ready to take us on board.
Everyone was determined to enjoy the Bombay Express train, and we weren’t disappointed. The excellent 3-course meal was served by the smartly dressed staff who provided full table service throughout the journey, while the magnificent engine threaded its way through the countryside effortlessly.
Thank you John Pedrazzini for choosing the right venue, the right day, and of course we were blessed with beautiful weather.
Richard Clamp"

What a wonderful morning we had today. I decided to book the breakfast train for my Dads 80th Birthday. All 7 of us had a wonderful time. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly and lots wished my Dad a happy Birthday. The food was amazing too. I will certainly be recommending to anyone wanting a relaxing family get together or simply a nice couples day out.

Greek evening on CVR
We were welcomed and had a look around the lovely shop. Then we had a drink in the cafe, which had a decent selection of beers and wines. Due to the threat of wildfires, we could not travel to the moorland, however, the double journey one way did not detract from the experience. The table was set nicely and the service was brilliant. Everyone was very smiley and helpful. The only tiny negative was that it was a 'Greek' evening and the food was not very reminiscent of Greece - although little was left.

Food and service was amazing
Food and service was amazing! However a four mile journey on a diesel train was not what was expected. The tickets were purchased as a gift to my Father in Law after he had said traveling on a steam train was something he has always wanted to do, but not had the opportunity. A two hour journey on a DIESAL train, actually consisted of a 4 mile trip with the majority of time spent at a stand still.

"Dear Lisa, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are absolutely delighted to hear that you found our food and service to be amazing. However, we are deeply sorry for the disappointment caused by the use of a diesel locomotive instead of a steam engine, especially as this journey was a special gift for your father-in-law. While we always aim to run our scheduled steam services, we occasionally have to substitute locomotives due to essential heritage maintenance or operational requirements. We understand how disappointing this must have been for a special occasion and we hope to welcome you and your family back for the true steam experience you intended using the free of charge No Steam Voucher you will have received.

My egg bacon benedict however, it was cold but I didn't want to spoil the experience for my friend so I didn't mention it on the journey.

Birthday surprise
This was a birthday gift for a close friend who is poorly and wheelchair bound 80%of the time.
The night run smoothly and there was no problem with the wheelchair being held at the back of the carriage but close to our table. We were able to take a balloon and and a table decoration.
The food was hot and delicious,and served by very helpful and friendly staff. A very pleasant experience.
