The latest edition of the magazine shows a 20% discount there if you use the club voucher. We went there a couple of weeks ago and the man selling tickets knew nothing about the offer and we had quite a job to explain the discount and why we were entitled to it. He did give in eventually and the tickets showed a railway discount, so if you do go be prepared to argue your case and take some evidence of the offer.

I would add that I mentioned this to the site wardens who also were not aware of the discount either.

It is a decent day out though.

    We always take the Great Day’s out booklet with us if trying something new. I don’t think it’s enough just to show membership cards, you have to use one of the vouchers from the booklet, or printed from website. Certainly some of places we have used ours, such as NY Moors railway were aware. We used it at Eden Camp at Malton as well one year, but don’t think that’s included anymore. Thanks for heads up, it’s not that far from us Wildwood, somwe might very well visit😃

    It's quite impressive, but we preferred the walk up and haven't actually used the cable cars. There's a lot of industrial history in the area as Cromford not that far away as well as Matlock itself.

    We did have the voucher but it was printed off the internet as the book we asked for never arrived. The man on the cash desk had never heard of the offer and was very reluctant to grant it.

    It does, they sent me one but despite 3 requests for a OS co-ordination booklet it still hasn't arrived. I know it's out there somewhere but I suspect the 3 people who have them have exhausted the print run.

    Hi, I have been looking for the offer for the NY Moors railway and I couldn't find anything online, I have just chatted with an agent and she confirms there is no offer on the CMC, was this in the past? or am I not looking in the right place?

     it does seem to have disappeared but these things do come and go. Presumably not enough of us used the vouchers to justify the discount.

    Hi Wildwood, We have raised this with Heights of Abraham who have informedus they have been accepting the Great Savings Guide vouchers. They do sometimes have adhoc staff in the ticket office and it is possible they may not be aware of the offer, although there are samples of the voucher on display in the ticket office. They have reinforced the message with the team down at the base station and hope this does not happen again.

    We used to have an offer with North Yorkshire Moors Railway however the attraction did not want to take part in 2019. We hope they will reconsider and offer a discount in 2020.

    To those who have said they haven't received their guides, we will look into this and apologise for any inconvenience.

    NYM Railway is super busy at the moment, due in part to the wonderful TV series about it. It was around 3 years or so ago we used it. Apologies for mentioning it, I thought it was still included.

    We’re like Nellie. We pester and pester until we get sent the offer booklet. We got three last year🤣 I cut out vouchers and keep a few in my wallet for when we are out and about. Seems to be a bit top heavy on Go Ape this year though.

    Edit: South Devon Railway has an offer though, something we had planned to see in August👍😁
