I'm in need of some help because I'm clueless and don't know where to start.
My son is 3 and train mad. He loves nothing more than trips on trains, watching trains on YouTube and of course, at 3 years old he obviously loves playing with trains. We went to Blackpool on the train 2 weeks ago from greenbank and he was able to tell me tonight exactly which trains he had been on (anything northern), which train the guard made him cry on (tpe) and which train was the naughty train (because it wasn't ours...east Midlands).
He however, wants to go on a virgin train - in fact he is desperate. Now, here's where I need your help.
I'm planning on making his little 3 year old dreams come true during October half term (end of next month). Sadly, I'm stuck to school holidays as I have a 5 year old son too (who this trip won't interest in the slightest but a few bribes and an iPad with headphones so he can watch pokemon and yokai watch will see him right) so I get that there is every chance that services will be busy. This may also work in my favour though as I have a friends and family railcard so may bring the cost of things down.
Can anyone help me plan a fab, cheapish day on a few trains? It must start from greenbank and finish at greenbank and must take in at least 2 trips on a virgin train. I will also be travelling with a just turned 1 year old so will be needing to take 1 stroller (I baby wear as well so they can take it in turns). Thank you in advance
