TERMS & CONDITIONS We strongly recommend that all our passengers take out travel/ cancellation insurance, as charges apply should you need to cancel or postpone your trip for whatever reason, whether your plans change due to ill-health, travel issues or weather conditions. Steam Dreams cannot be held liable for additional costs incurred in making your travel plans and do advise that you do not pre-book travel or accommodation. If you do need to book accommodation in advance, we recommend that you book a rate that includes cancellation insurance should details of your trip change. Timings, routes and locomotives are subject to change as we are dependent on third parties and these are not within our control. For our Multi-day Trips Terms & Conditions, please see our full Holidays by Steam Brochure. Passenger Seating Please note all of our trains are allocated seating and your carriage letter and seat numbers will be shown on your tickets. As a general rule, seats are allocated so that parties of two are given one window seat and one aisle seat. Passengers must be aware that any seating requests must be stated at the time of booking, and that although and we always endeavour to accommodate requests this may not always be possible. Please note that the seat numbers on your tickets also indicate the direction your seat will be facing on the outward journey.F means a forward facing seat and R means a rearward facing one. The actual seats remain the same on the return journey – whether the direction of travel changes or not. This means that if the train reverses, a facing seat becomes reverse for the return journey and vice versa. If there is a problem on the day please speak to one of our members of staff on the train. Train Safety Following a general review of charter train safety, passengers must not lean out of a moving train. Windows can be open but no part of the body or any equipment, such as cameras, may be outside of the carriage. Passengers also may not linger in the vestibules at the end of each coach. Steam Dreams staff will enforce these rules and anyone found breaking these regulations will be asked to leave the train at the next station. Payment Bookings may be paid for by debit or credit cards. Debit card payments do not incur extra charges, but a 2% transaction fee is charged for credit card payments (2.6% for Amex payments), which covers the costs incurred by Steam Dreams for providing this service. Other payment methods including paying by cash or cheque* are still available for telephone bookings only and remain free of charge. *We are unable to accept payments by cheques less than 21 days prior to departure. This is to allow for postage and time to process the payment. Deposits All deposits are non-transferrable and non-refundable. Gift Vouchers, Credit Notes and Discounts All third party gift vouchers, Steam Dreams gift vouchers, credit notes or discounts must be redeemed through the Booking Office and cannot be used for online bookings. In the event of a train being cancelled or you cancelling your booking, Steam Dreams
LOCOMOTIVES vouchers are non-refundable as a cash payment; however vouchers can be transferred for use against another Steam Dreams trip. Passengers who have booked using a third party voucher should note that if you choose to cancel your booking within seven days of departure the third party voucher is nontransferable. Discounts may only be used against bookings made after the date of issue and cannot be retrospectively added to any previous bookings. Steam Availability Steam Dreams will use its best efforts to provide steam traction on trips rostered for steam haulage, for the sector(s) advertised as such, but this cannot be guaranteed. On occasion a diesel locomotive may be substituted, mainly due to drought, route restrictions or locomotive failure on the day. In the event that a trip advertised as being at least partially steam hauled has no steam traction, a partial refund will be offered. Occasionally on some tours it may be necessary for a part of the journey to be diesel hauled, normally at the request of Network Rail, the train operating company or the locomotive owner. Where possible we will try to make this clear at the time of booking but it may be necessary for changes to be made at a later stage for operational reasons. Diesel Assistance On steam hauled trips occasionally for operational reasons or due to adverse weather, a diesel engine may be attached to the train.

General Conditions Steam Dreams will use its best efforts to ensure that the proposed locomotives, coaching stock, route and times run as advertised and we reserve the right to amend or cancel any part of the tour at any time. Steam Dreams cannot accept any responsibility for the action of third parties and strongly recommends that all passengers take out travel/cancellation insurance. Traveller Health Conditions To get the most out of our trips, passengers must be able to board the train and walk through the carriage(s) to their allocated seat unassisted. Passengers must make Steam Dreams staff aware of any mobility assistance required at least a week prior to the date of the trip.

If in doubt, please contact the Bookings Office for advice. During your time with us, please bring any problems you may experience to the attention of the management so that we may try to rectify them swiftly. Please note that tickets for all day trips are sent out by email unless requested to be sent by post. Brochure Accuracy This brochure was printed in April 2017.
