No, sadly this is not a thread about the Trulli Train. I have a friend from church who is a strong F1 fan (he has previously been to the British Grand Prix and I believe he is going to Monza this year), and also enjoys his steam train rides. I know this last fact because both of us went to a special running of a steam train on the District line in London a month or two ago, from Ealing Broadway to High Street Kensington. It was a good day, albeit a bit expensive. Last summer, I also enjoyed rides on the Festiniog Railway and the South Tynsdale Railway.
Is anybody else here a fan of heritage/steam trains?

I can put my hand up and say that I am a train enthusiast as well (though some people may already know that ).

So I didn't know that. Do you have a favourite railway line? Any lines you would like to go to but haven't done so yet?

Not sure on that one - I've done the whole length of the East Coast Main Line (KGX-Edinburgh), and about half of the Midland Main Line (St Pancras-East Midlands Parkway), and the lines around my local area, but I guess everywhere I haven't been to yet.
I don't really have a favourite railway line.

I've done the East Kent Railway.
I've volunteered at the Chatham Historic Dockyard Railway just for fun a few times.

Volunteering at a railway sounds fun. 6-year-old me would have been ecstatic at the thought! I'm going to have to Google that railway at some point, haven't heard of it.

It's a very small railway inside what's left of Chatham Dockyard. I volunteered in the workshops working on whatever came up, which included one of the steam engines and a steam tug.

I can understand the appeal, I think. (Defo the Lego and model railways.)
