Terms and Conditions:

 

• Ticket to ride the footplate option participants must be aged 18 or over. Although there is no upper age limit, the participant should be generally healthy enough for light manual work.

• Participants must be able to climb into the locomotive cab from the platform. Please also note that the cab may be a relatively confined space.

• Please ensure that you choose the correct date and time when booking an Option. Bookings may be re-arranged at no extra cost, provided this is arranged no more than 14 days before the date of your original booking.

• You may cancel your booking for a full refund within five working days. After this time, we will only be able to rearrange your cab ride option.

• Missed Footplate Ride Options cannot be refunded or rearranged.

​

• Whilst we are generally able to accommodate most reasonable alterations to bookings, we cannot always guarantee to do so.

• In the event that the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway Company (1983) Ltd. are not able to honour an Option, for example, following the failure of a locomotive, we will seek to reschedule your Option for another suitable date and time. If this is not possible, then we will issue a full refund.
