We went on the Ida Bay Railway one clear and frosty morning. The views along the coastal route were amazing, with snow-covered Adamson's Peak reflected in the water. My husband is in a wheelchair and the train driver assisted with a ramp and a helpful manner. Most seating is outside (with a roof) so dress for the weather, and blankets are provided. At a half-way stop the driver gave a very interesting narrative of local history and the part that the railway played. Beautiful beaches to explore at the other end.
