Is there a bar at the venue?
Absolutely. Your ticket price includes a welcome drink and we serve beer, wine and spirits on the train. Once you arrive at the Polar Bar we also have a delicious themed cocktail menu too.
Can I order food that isn’t on the menu?
No, we do ask for dietary requirements when you book your tickets which we will happily accommodate however our menu is set. We are delighted to have teamed up with BBC MasterChef: The Professionals Finalist 2017; Louis Ellis who has created a delicious menu for us.

Our train carriage consists of 8 booths which very comfortably sit 6 guests. Groups on the same booking will be absolutely be sat together. If tickets are purchased separately, please make a note of the party you wish to join when booking and we can accommodate this for you. Otherwise you can email this information to info@funicularproductions.com.
What time should I arrive at the venue?
We're doing things a little differently for Christmas. Please arrive 15 mins before your ticket start time as advertised on your ticket. It is a 2 hour experience from the time the doors open which then gives you access directly to the train where you will eat, drink and be entertained. Once finished we do have to vacate the venue as we will likely have another train departing shortly afterwards. You shouldn't feel rushed however and there should be plenty of time and space to finish your drinks at the end in the Polar Bar - thePlatform bar area.
Can you recommend anywhere nearby to have drink before we arrive or when we depart?
Literally only a stones throw away over the railway (8min walk) from Pedley Street Station are our friends at The Carpenters Arms . a lovely, local London pub with an infamous history as previously owned in the 1960's by The Kray Twins who grew up in nearby Vallance Road. We are also only an 8 minute walk to the infamous Brick Lane which hosts an abundance of bars, pubs and vintage market stalls, as well as 15 mins walk to Shoreditch High St, Bethnal Green and Spitalfields, so, plenty to wet your whistle before or after your visit to Pedley Street Station.
Can I bring a birthday cake or a bottle of bubbly for a birthday celebration?
Our menu is filling and you likely won’t have space for cake! We have a set menu which includes a dessert and limited space at our venue with a busy kitchen to store so we unfortunately cannot cater for this. Due to fire regulations, we are also not allowed to have open flames at the venue. We will happily sing with you though!
I cannot make my session, can I change my tickets?
This sounds simple enough, however, tickets are selling and shows are filling so by all means do ask us if it is a necessity but we do have a no refund, no change policy. If it is a necessity please let us know immediately and we can see if there is space however changes within 72 hours we categorically cannot process.
