Safety

SASMEE cares about your safety so please heed the following.

Follow directions

Our volunteers have appropriate training and are concerned for your safety. Please follow their directions.

Footwear

Enclosed footwear must be worn. You cannot wear light, flimsy or open toed foot wear when riding on trains. This includes thongs, sandals and scuffs.  Your TOES ARE IMPORTANT to us and should a carriage derail sound footwear will protect them.

Clothing

Please avoid wearing loose flowing clothing, wraps and scarves; they can get caught up in the wheels. Ladies, tight skirts make it very difficult to sit astride our carriages and can cause our station staff some embarrassment (or amusement) as you try to sit down.

DON'T Wear you best clothes, they may get soiled from soot, steam and oil.

Bags

Please leave bulky bags and rucksacks with either friends or our station staff. Smaller bags should only be carried on your lap.

How to ride

Our riding carriages are of the sit astride type.

To board our carriages adults must step one leg right over the carriage, sit down and then place their feet on the foot board.

To ride all passengers must;

·       Sit down, not stand up

·       Keep their feet on the foot boards until directed to alight

·       Not lean out

·       Not reach out to anything or anybody

Adults please have both feet on the ground before getting of the carriages.

Adult supervision

Please supervise your children and those in your party at all times.

Please ensure that there is one adult to travel with up to four children

No alcohol

Alcohol and safety do not mix. Please do not bring alcohol or consume it on site on public running days

Beach umbrellas and shelters

Please do not bring beach umbrellas or erect shelters on the site. In a wind gust these items can become lethal to others.
