1. The cost is the price of an ordinary day return to Edale which is around £5 from Sheffield, a little less from Dore.
   
2. If you are joining at Sheffield you should (technically) buy a ticket at the booking office but I'm sure the conductor would look kindly on you if there was an enormous queue and you were in danger of missing the train. However, there may always be the occasional 'jobsworth' so leave plenty of time to park and buy your ticket. Those joining at Dore (or further afield) buy their tickets from the Conductor.
   
3. Tickets can only be bought on the night and as we travel on an ordinary local train there is no limit to the number of tickets except for the physical capacity of the train (which we have never reached!).
   
4. We have never turned anyone away but occasionally it has been impossible to get everyone in the music coach.
5. The train leaves Dore at 19:22.
   
6. No. It's not possible to book seats on the train.
   
7. No. It's only a little, local train.
8. Food is available at The Rambler.See http://www.theramblerinn.co.uk/food.html
   
9. Children have always been welcome.
10. Yes. There are a number of Folk Trains running from Manchester, including the the one to the Little John at Hathersage on the 2nd Saturday of the month . For more information ring Tony Wills on 0161 427 5207.
