The "Golden Arrow' courses follow a similar format to the one day Introductory course, - what differs is the engine. We use one of the Bluebell Railway's main line engines that are in regular use hauling their passenger trains and their Golden Arrow dining train. As these engines lead a busy life, the dates they are available for our 'Golden Arrow' driving courses are unfortunately a little restricted, but it is well worth the wait.
| All Under Control: The driver's side of the 9F's footplate. This where you will sit while in charge of 141 tons of steam locomotive. |
| The Road Ahead: Driver's view from the footplate of the 9F, waiting for the signal to fall. |
| Another 'Golden Arrow' Engine: West Country light pacific No. 21C123 'Blackmore Vale' awaits the signal to depart from Sheffield Park Station. |
| Wish you were here? On the footplate of the West Country. |

| Golden Arrow Gift Certificates: If the course is a present for someone, Gift Certificates are available on request to give the event that special sense of occasion. |
