• 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 Experience. 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 Heritage Experience.
• Missed Footplate Ride Experiences cannot be refunded or rearranged.
• Footplate Ride Experience vouchers that are purchased as a gift must be redeemed during the 2024 running season.
• 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 Experience, for example, following the failure of a locomotive, we will seek to reschedule your Experience for another suitable date and time. If this is not possible, then we will issue a full refund.
