Driver for a fiver must be one of the best value activities in the railway museum World! Not sure how many museums offer such a thing but at the Rocks by Rail Museum a £5 drive gets visitors behind the controls of one of the Rolls Royce powered Sentinel diesel locomotives and under supervision allows them the experience of driving it to the end of the line and back. The whole experience takes about 10 leisurely minutes or so which means that participants do actually feel as though they are being focused on and not just being pushed through as quickly as possible.
From the feedback we get, the vast majority of visitors think that it is fantastic value. Even with the less then summery weather today about 30 of our many visitors today experienced the driving opportunity so that is hopefully a number of Bucket List items ticked off for many of them! I am sure most of their other Bucket List items will cost a lot more than £5 to fulfill!
Visitors awaiting their turn for Driver for a Fiver during a sunnier part of the day! Not even the rain could put them off!
