Watercress Line Railway Dining

We came here for Steam lighting and it was absolutely wonderful! the illuminated kutschen looked amazing, they were comfortable inside, the Christmas music was great, the high teeboxes that were prepared for us tasty and a huge effort had gone to make them. a really wonderful festive steam experience!

Great day out at a reasonable price. Plenty of helpful staff to help you when needed. A variety of steam diesel locomotives to see and admire.

This is a great day out for all ages. The railway has been kept in a beautiful condition thanks the the very passionate and knowledgeable volunteers. It was lovely to see the pride they take in what they are doing. The train stops at some lovely little villages so you can have a leisurely day exploring.

Had a fantastic time on the lit-up train last week. The wristbands were an added bonus and were programmed to light up in unison with the train lights. Brilliant.

We visited Steam Lighting for a family outing, and it was definitely worth it. Parking can be a bit limited, so I recommend arriving about 10 minutes before the train departs. The train itself is gorgeous, with everything beautifully illuminated both inside and out—my photos really don't do it justice. You can grab coffee and snacks in Alresford and Alton. It's great that they have reserved seating, ensuring you have a guaranteed spot. The kids absolutely loved it, both the little ones and the older ones! There are also lights along the track, which was a new experience for most of us and quite pleasantly surprising.
