Okay so we probably can't afford £1200, not unless we were selling tickets and got lots of interest (or sold really expensive tickets). Is there a minimum amount of time that the train needs to be hired for, I mean can it be hired for say a half day?
Failing that, um... I used to drive a diesel car, does that count as being an enthusiast?
