Foxandedwards Omdömen 

On Sunday the 7th June 2026 we went on the bluebell railway from Sheffield park station Sussex. There was four of us and we all enjoyed the whole experience including the fish & chips. After the trip our taxi never turn up and the lovely hostess that was on the train with us took us back to the Birch hotel. The ladies name is Samantha, she really did go one step beyond.

My friend and myself went on the steam train to Tenterden for cream tea which consists of 2 shop bought Scones containing sultanas they were very dry i could manage one .we also had a pot of cream and a small jar of jam was not worth the money I was so disappointed as it was a present.

Paid £140 for premium compartment where you would think being a Paddington train ride you would see Paddington on the train but no started in east Dereham drove 10 mins up the road to Thuxton then had to sit at train station for half hour making our entertainment while the train turned around to go back in total your on the train for 20mins then you get off the train and have to queue for half hour to take a picture with Paddington , everything was very rushed like rushed to get on the train then get off so the next group can go , if you value money don’t do this journey it’s a waste of money and a lot better train experiences around , train was dirty and had food all over it from the previous train ride so I would say they should separate the rides and not try cram as many in one day as they can and spend abit of time between each ride to clean the train won’t be using this company again like money but not customers

It was a lovely trip on the old steam train we went on the 31st March 2026. We had lovely fish and chips. The staff that run it were very friendly, helpful and polite. The only thing that let it down was the view as all you see is green fields and bushes and its a very short journey.

Don’t waste your money on the Bo’ness journey - they have the cheek to advertise a beautiful steam train travelling across a viaduct for this particular journey - I should report them to trade descriptions act. Dirty train, soggy fish n chips, no view at all to speak of. The train was the one used for the children on their Thomas the Tank engine journeys ! I bought this for my dads 80th quite frankly embarrassing for all involved. £85 badly spent sadly.

I loved the journey on the flying Scotsman . The only let downs was the catering before you went on. Everything sold out and a dodgy coffee. On the train the same . Only beer and soft drinks left . No crisps wine or spirits, sold out . Disappointing. The toliets were very dirty and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months . ☹️

We took our aunt, an elderly and visually impaired lady, on the Steam Train Travel with Fish & Chips at the Bo'ness & Kinneil, on Saturday past. She loved every minute! The set up at Bo'ness took us back to another time, the carriage we were in was spotless and the crew were really friendly.

My only critique would be to consider seating people with disabilities or challenges with their mobility at the tables nearest the entrance / exit and to arrange for them to board either first or last. This approach minimises time standing on the platform waiting to board or having to navigate the length of a carriage to reach the allocated deat, as was our experience.

Great that the experience is dog friendly too. Our pup had a ball!

What a wonderful time we’ve had on our very special Flying Scotsman trip. We will certainly never forget it! Every single staff member has been so incredibly kind and friendly, even when working on a hot train in a heatwave.

We’ve also had the best time waving our flags out of our window to you every time you stop outside our garden whilst you’ve been at the great central railway.

A special mention to Veronica for coming to find us through her detective work, and making us feel so special. We are truly grateful and will treasure this memory for a lifetime. Daniel is absolutely buzzing and is ready for a last day of waving in the morning! 🚂🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👋🏻👋🏻💚

The experience of being on the flying scotsman. Wonderful helpfully staff,did another event,with fish and chips,that was excellent

My friend and I went on the flying Scotsman on 25May it was a very hot day and very crowded. I think there was 3 or4 trips planned . We paid £60 each for this trip . Our carriage was at the end of a long row of carriages in open seating . I had been in a local train trip a couple of months before and noticed that the cleanliness of the carriages toilets and walkways looked unwashed, really like no one had ever cleaned.
Even the windows were dirty, I thought with a big event like this £60 tickets and up to £400 for individual carriages( plus for food )I expected more. I felt like this event was basically a massive money making event , like totally.
It was very nice seeing the Scotsman very little in the way of sounds from the train which is part of it for me .

There was plenty of staff on duty helpful and cheery but the whole event was a let down .
One of the organisers was standing near where we were sitting on the return journey and he was singing the fact that the food and train package was a big hit etc again like I say all about money no mention of the unhygienic conditions in the toilet behind him.
I wouldn’t go again.

We went on Ruddington, Flying Scotsman trip. All staff from ‘checking in’ around the site and on the train, were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the ride past lovely countryside. The engine was magnificent. Only reason not 5 star is the £20 extra I paid for ‘souvenir tin with baked treats’. I thought the tin itself would have had embossed picture of the train on it, unfortunately it was a plain tin with a card slip on cover, baked goods use by dates 02.09.2026. That was only disappointment as I wanted tin as a souvenir of trip for my husband, as it was present for his 70th birthday.

We travelled to Nottingham for the afternoon tea in the presence of The Flying Scotsman and Tornado it was a great afternoon with good food and excellent service /organisation by the staff. Thank you a great birthday present for my husband .

We travelled on the Great Central Railway at Loughborough on 17th May 2026, with a cream tea. We really enjoyed the experience. Trish, the Fox and Edwards representative, was very welcoming, the cream tea was good (choice of plain and fruit scones was good as not everyone likes fruit scones) and the first class coach was comfortable. The train journey was very relaxing and an experience from a bygone era. Thank you all.

Great Central Railway Nottingham / Ruddington

Great customer service today.
Fish and chips on the Watercress Line.
Welcomed warmly by Watercress line staff and Fox and Edwards representative. Clear instructions and process worked well.
Lovely steam train journey and the fish and chips were great ... good portion , could have been a tad hotter but not a disaster. Flapjack and bottle of water included. Salt , pepper and vinegar in the bag.
Lovely few hours , Fox and Edwards representative was friendly , humorous and work very hard to keep all running smoothly

Travelled on the Fish and Chip train from Loughborough on 2 May. The train journey was lovely as were all the stations en route.
The fish and chips was truly awful. Poor quality fish and rock hard batter. Cheap wooden cutlery was less than useless. Bottles of Costco water and a flapjack. The fish complaint seems to be a recurring theme throughout the reviews. Fox and Edwards really do need to up their game. Certainly was not worth £75 ! Spoilt what was looking like a lovely day. Came away feeling completely ripped off when paid for parents anniversary. Would not recommended. Have looked at afternoon tea but at £80 that feels a bit of a rip off too !

Our trip on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway was a Birthday gift.
The experience was delightful; the Fox & Edwards representative, Becky, was most helpful and had a happy demeanour.

The trip was exactly on time, travelling through beautiful countryside to Duffield and back, our trip included a fish and chip meal; this meal was collected at Duffield Station, and was carried out with military precision.

The fish and chips could not be faulted, both were hot and well cooked, accompanied by bottled water and flapjacks.

From our experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip.

I notice several negative reviews of this company have been given, but these did not reflect in any way our experience,

Staff on our steam train journey were excellent. Helpful, friendly and professional.
We had a fish and chip lunch in Bluebell Railway in Sussex.
I was sceptical as to a mass provision of fish and chips expecting cold, soggy and greasy food- it was anything but. Lovely fish, crispy chips and still hot.
Train journey was excellent pulled by a beautiful steam engine.

Blaenavon, 2 miles total 1 back and 1 forward. Was stopped more than going. Carriage was dirty,seats were completely shot. Fish and we had to collect ourselves from a take away van in the car park,and was poor at best. Absolutely painful experience for all four of us,even the dog looked depressed. Good job we so the funny side, it that bad it was funny.
