The whole experience made for a great day out. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We upgraded to First Class and the compartment we travelled in was comfortable and clean. We travelled the full length of the line. The scenery was spectacular. Although very seriously interested in Railway History I don't normally get excited about the ride on the train! But this trip was really good not so long as to get boring. The locomotives are fascinating. We have had to change how we operate the railway. The fun has not gone it is just different to what you remember. Although some blame COVID this has in reality only speeded up the process. The costs involved both financially and in human terms of running a daily intensive service with lots and lots of train are simply no longer sustainable. However what we are doing at the moment will mean the Ratty will still be here for future generations to enjoy. Cooper mixes in other familiar stories – the three bears make an appearance as does Cinderella and the man in the moon – making the story accessible to younger children. Her wonderful illustrations require careful study as they too draw on familiar literature and nursery rhymes.

Different Mini Game for TV (much more unique than RatMan(arcade machine), maybe we can vote or something; for what kind of game you want to play in TV) I really enjoyed Tatty Ratty! This picture book forces the reader to appreciate Tatty's and the child's new world. Most children have experienced that horrible feeling of losing a precious toy- so this book is very relatable whilst also highlighting the creativity and power of a child's imagination. Additionally, I liked the focus of the parents as both play a significant role in stimulating Molly's narration. HELEN COOPER is the only illustrator ever to win the highly prestigious Kate Greenaway Award for two consecutive books: THE BABY WHO WOULDN'T GO TO BED, 1996 and PUMPKIN SOUP, 1998. She has had several other successful titles published by Doubleday including LITTLE MONSTER DID IT! and THE BEAR UNDER THE STAIRS, which won the Smarties Young Judges' Award in 1994. Both are now perennial favourites in nurseries, schools, libraries and bookshops. Built-in lesson plans and instruction in every text, as well as a comprehensive Teacher’s Handbook, save planning time and elevate teaching practice for even the most experienced teachers.We were bought the Ruth Director experience as a gift and it was a really lovely afternoon. We started with a hot chocolate in the cafe then enjoyed a return trip in the Ruth carriage which is lovely. The hamper was full of goodies and the drinks chilled so you can enjoy them on the trip. Staff were friendly and helpful. And, of course, for that he’ll need a uniform – just the blue buttons he had when he first arrived in Molly’s house. Then he has breakfast with the three bears and eats too much so he gets fat – so he’s as plump as he was when Molly first had him. Each stage of his journey sees Tatty Ratty become less tatty and more like the clean, white, fluffy rabbit he first was. It’s a clever but simple idea. Aside from the matters you have raised I do hope your group did enjoy the train ride and we hope to see you all again in the future. The atmospheric book will comfort children who have lost a favorite toy and will take the reader on a magical journey through a land of dreams and fantasies.

The extra head space and large windows media travelling 'inside' on a hot day rather pleasant.

She imagines her might get off the bus and find a train and drive it home.
