The very same pump trolley which was in use in the 1920’s has been fully and perfectly restored.
Come along DVLR’s Pump Trolley Experience Days so that you can come along and enjoy riding on
the trolley yourself.
For this experience, you will need a valid Yorkshire Museum of Farming ticket, or you can purchase
one on the day which will gain you access to the entire Murton Park site and unlimited train rides on
the DVLR for 12 months, on running days, Special Events excepted. There is an additional charge of
£5 per person to ride on the DVLR Pump Trolley.
First offered in 2019 ( see e-flyer below), this experience proved to be enjoyable and popular, so
three dates have been made available for 2020.
(Our 2020 Events & Calendar were planned before the rate of spread and impact of Coronavirus Covid-19 were known. Details in this
website show those plans. We have always been dedicated to the health & safety of our visitors and volunteer staff. With the
situation changing quickly, the future impact cannot be forecast. We shall be continually assessing the situation and will inform you,
before the relevant dates, if any changes are necessary.)
2020 Pump Trolley Experience Days:
Saturdays:
May 16th,
