Steam Train Experience for 2
Revisit the golden age of travel
The ‘Cathedrals Express’ offers railway transport at its best, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a nostalgic journey on a vintage steam locomotive in beautifully-restored historic green carriages.
What's included
Day trip by steam train to your chosen location, seated at tables for four in open carriages. Approx 3-6 hours for sightseeing and shopping at your chosen location. Allow an entire day (approx 8-12 hours) for your experience. One departure point: London
Experience is packed in a smart wallet with a personalised voucher, a message card and all the information you need to book. Personal accident cover to the value of £50,000 plus cancellation indemnity is also included.
What happens on the day
On arrival you’ll be welcomed on board by the friendly and efficient staff. You’ll be seated in either a compartment for six people or an open carriage at tables for four (please state when booking if you have a preference). You’ll then be able to relax and enjoy the unique experience of travelling by steam train through England’s beautiful countryside.
When you arrive at your chosen location you’ll have around 3-6 hours to spend shopping and seeing the sights, but don’t be late returning to the train! Once you’ve boarded for your return journey, allow yourself some hard-earned rest as the historic carriages, the sound of the engine’s whistle and the smoke drifting past the window transport you back to a bygone age.
