Last year the Standard Class fare was 69 quids - slightly cheaper than a trip on the Welsh Highland Railway :)

What you have described is the Jacobite which, surprise surprise, is probably the most successful and most popular mainline steam run in the country. 84 mile round trip, a few hours each way, steam, great noise for the enthusiast, pretty scenery,...

Are the windows clean? :) If I lived in the area, that's the sort of trip I think I could convince my other half to go on. Surely that model can't be impossible to replicate elsewhere? Tom

Vintage Trains have this, which is the nearest I can find to @Jamessquared 's description. £53 Standard for 2-hrs each way with 4-hours in St. Ratford upon Avon. Only runs twice this year. The Derby Shakespeare Express | Vintage Trains

It’s had ten years of rail tours. Ten years of merchandise sales. Ten years of visits across the country where preserved railways have lined up as it undoubtedly fills their coffers. It’s been on the royal train, it’s done a slew of photo...

Daft idea, I think. Returning it to "as built" condition would effectively remove most of its history. How a historical object ends up is just as interesting as how it started. In preservation it has run as 4472 (single chimney, LNER livery),...

Miff gefällt 35Bs Beitrag in dem Thema Rolling Stock For Sale.
