- Book as early as you can, because trips are limited and only run on a small number of dates during the festive season.
- Bring cash or be ready to pay by bank transfer on the day, as this small firm has no card facilities.
- Keep your phone handy the day before, because they text to confirm the ride is running once they've seen the weather forecast.
- Dress warmly for the open-top carriage, although lap rugs and umbrellas are on board if a shower comes through during your ride.
- Use the Savill Building before or after your ride, since it's free to enter and has a café, gift shop and toilets.
