Day Out With Thomas

Easter 2008

21st - 24th  March  &  5th - 13th April 2008

Best place to visit for a fun day out with children at Easter in Hampshire. You can ride on Thomas's train, watch Diesel and the Troublesome Trucks
Meet The Fat Controller, the Vicar, the Policeman. Ride as much as you like on our big trains through spectacular Hampshire countryside.

We got to Ropley at about 9am yesterday and got to see Thomas having his face and buffers cleaned to get ready for the long day ahead.
We had a lovely day as always.
Jasmine (5 years) did ask after Percy though!
Thank you

Sadly, Percy wasn't well, so the Fat Controller told Duck to take his place this time  ... tw
We did get a ride with Duck. Hope Percy gets better soon, we will be back in August    ... Jasmine,   10 April 2008 18:43

We just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful day out at “The Watercress Line – Thomas Day Out” yesterday. My son Leo is only 20 months, but he enjoyed every bit of our day. He recognised many of the trains, and got to ride on Thomas. The effort made by everyone who volunteers is outstanding, and this is shown not only by the well preserved engines and buildings, but also by the friendly relaxed environment.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a child watching Thomas the Tank Engine.
Thanks again for a brilliant day. We will be back very soon.
Rob, Joanne and Leo Jones

A view from Medstead box yesterday morning. More reminiscent of Santa Specials than Thomas!

Dear Tony
Just wanted to let you know that my family and I had a fantastic time this Easter and the snow added to the excitement for my boys Harvey and Bradley.
Having a picnic on the train was an experience for them both. Had many rides on Thomas and Toad, and Harvey still keeps talking about it.
Thanks again and I hope all who book enjoy their day as much as us.
Regards
Sharon, John, Bradley and Harvey Nicholson
