There’s nothing quite like the nostalgic magic of a trip on a steam train, especially at Christmas time, when clouds of steam billow into the air as you travel in style through the beautiful English countryside.
The Railway Touring Company will make that a reality this festive season with its enchanting day trips from London’s mainline stations to a variety of destinations including York, Bath, Cardiff, Chester, Lincoln, Bristol and Eastbourne.
It’s a real piece of train travel as it should be, with vintage carriages and the evocative sights and sounds of a working steam engine.
Sit down to a feast in Premier Dining to make it extra special, and if you Book on a Saturday there’s even the chance to meet Father Christmas himself!
Choose from a wide selection of destinations, with a heartwarming visit to a Christmas market as the centerpiece of the day. Spend time in the historic city centers of cities such as York, Chester, Bath and Cardiff to soak up the Christmas spirit, stock up on presents – and enjoy some more mulled wine!
The journey to Sherborne in Dorset on Wednesday 4th December goes even further with a carol service arranged for passengers held at Sherborne Abbey. There’s no better way to get in the mood than by singing Christmas carols by candlelight at this impressive place of worship, founded in the 8th century.
These Christmas outings are always extremely popular, so act fast to book your place for a festive experience to remember.
