点评:This has been on my bucket list for at least 15 years and what an experience. From booking tickets on line to arrival at the station at Pickering every thing was a smooth experience.
Firstly parking at Pickering is great, whether in the station car park or parking at Platform 9 which is easily within walking distance of the station. There is ample parking for campervans or motorhomes in the Platform 9 car park, costs in Oct 26 were £10 for the day.
Pickering station is beautifully kept and has a multitude of original features, from the ticket office to the station cafe and even the toilets you are delightfully transported back to a bygone era.
The station staff (Who are volunteers) are very pleasant and knowledgeable about the railway and obviously have a passion rarely seen these days.
The Steam or Diesel engines are beautifully kept and in a lovely condition, riding on the rolling stock carriages was a delight. True to form the train ran a little late as per normal travel on BR in the 60s. 😉😂
We visited the other stations on the line and were very impressed at the workings and engine sheds, all in beautiful order.
At the time of our visit Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive was on static display and a conversation was had with the engineers who were also full of knowledge and had a passion for their Locomotive.
There are various trains to stir the passion of any enthusiast, steam or diesel pulling carriages including a very nice Pullman serving lunch on the move.
For the model railway enthusiast there are opportunities to buy even more stock at a few of the station shops.
All in all a wonderful visit.
翻译:这可是我至少15年来一直想做的事情,真是一次绝佳的体验。从在线订票到抵达皮克灵车站,整个过程都十分顺利。
首先,皮克灵的停车条件相当不错:既可以在车站停车场停车,也可以停在9号站台旁的停车场,那里离车站仅几步之遥。9号站台的停车场有充足的车位供露营车或房车使用;2026年10月时的全天停车费为10英镑。皮克灵车站维护得极为出色,保留了众多原始特色——从售票处、车站咖啡馆,乃至卫生间,都能让人仿佛穿越回往昔岁月。
车站工作人员均为志愿者,他们和蔼可亲且对铁路历史了如指掌;显然他们怀有如今已不多见的浓厚热情。
这里的蒸汽机车与柴油机车都保养得非常好、状态极佳,乘坐这些列车更是一种享受。一如既往,这趟火车像60年代英国铁路上的常规情况那样,稍微晚点到了。😉😂
我们参观了线路上的其他车站,对其运作情况以及机车库留下了深刻印象——一切都井然有序、整洁美观。
我们到访时,奈杰尔·格雷斯利爵士号机车正在静态展出;我们还与工程师们进行了交谈,他们知识渊博且对机车充满热情。
这里有各式各样的列车,足以激起任何铁路爱好者的热情。蒸汽机车或柴油机车牵引着各节车厢,其中有一节非常漂亮的普尔曼车厢,可以在行驶过程中提供午餐服务。
对于模型铁路爱好者而言,还能在车站的几家商店里购买到更多相关模型用品。
总而言之,这是一次很棒的参观体验。
