Ultimate Driver Experiences : 6th February 2026
Here is the recent announcement regarding the popular driving experience trains which are returning this season and can now be booked at www.rail.im where all enquiries should also be addressed. We wish the railway all success with this venture and are looking forward to another busy season.
“Our new format Ultimate Driver Experience has now launched for 2026. At just £395.00 per person, we’re one of the best value experiences available in the British Isles! Shared between four people, this experience takes place on evenings throughout the summer months and gives you the opportunity to drive a Victorian steam locomotive on a railway like no other in the world, all under the supervision of our expert crew. Each person will get to experience approximately seven miles of driving the locomotive.
These sessions operate over the full length of the line between Douglas and Port Erin, with an evening meal included at Port Erin Station while your locomotive crew prepare for the return journey. A carriage will be brought along for the journey - why not bring guests along to ride behind you as you drive the locomotive? Adult guests are £25.00, child guests are £10.00 - including their evening meal at Port Erin Station as well! On return to Douglas Station after a fantastic evening experience, certificates will be presented as well as an Isle of Man Railways goody-bag of souvenirs!”
