    Talylyn Driver Experiences are EXCLUSIVE- the whole trip is yours!
    You blow the whistle, release the brakes and open the regulator, a hiss of steam and the train starts to move----the start of the journey and the start of an experience of a lifetime.
    Driver Experience: £600
    Driver Experience Overview:
    The small size of our narrow gauge locos (火车头) means that only one visitor can be on the loco at a time, so our Driver Experience trains really are EXCLUSIVE---- the whole trip is yours, only carrying your guests.
    During the breaks it will be possible to discuss the history of the line, its operation and is continued development- the questions are yours to ask.
    Driver Experience Booking Information:
    The cost of up to 3 guests accompanying the driver travelling on the train is included in the package. Any further guests (up to a maximum of 15) may enjoy the trip at a price of £10 each.
    As the railway is operated by volunteers, please give us at least 4 weeks' notice of your preferred date to ensure that we have a volunteer crew available for the event.
    Other Requirements:
    A simple Medical Questionnaire will need to be satisfactorily completed. Good evesight (with glasses if required) and hearing are obviously important, as is the ability to climb into and out of the cab. We regret that these Experiences are not suitable for disabled persons.

    Sanding on the shore of a lake, I can't help but marvel at the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.
    And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?
    Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1.000 years ago. And much like a rock. I've found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.
    Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.
    But I’m not a rock. I’m a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.
    Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don't like it either, but let's all do what we can.” But the guy tried to argue about the note.
