What visitors say
Absolutely wonderful experience. We travelled on the Pullman for Sunday Lunch. The team went out of their way to make us feel welcome and relaxed and we enjoyed every minute. The lunch was delicious. Very nicely presented and served. Everyone was polite and easy to chat with and have a giggle with. Booking was easy and everything clear from the start. Would highly recommend using this site as they offer many trips to cover all locations and events. Booked our next trip to Yorks Christmas market travelling on the White Rose the following day. Big thank you to everyone from the booking team to all on the train. Monika and Martyn (The tomato allergy girl ) though they did look very yummy..if only I could 😁

The Golden Hind tour on May 23rd. A grand day out. The train hauled by a beautifully presented D1015 Western Champion arrived at Banbury perfectly on time. The train stewards welcomed me on-board and guided me to my seat. A name card and information booklet was already on the table. A clean run down to Paddington with a reversal to ensure D1015 was correctly positioned for the superb run down to Plymouth was enjoyable. Now the fun begins, with D1015 running unassisted down to Plymouth. Superb driving, super cheerful on train staff made this non stop run an amazing experience. Time enough in Plymouth to grab a meal, stroll around and br back in time to find everything ready for the return journey. I can't applaud all involved in this trip sufficiently. WELL DONE EVERYONE

What an amazing experience. Staff were warm and welcoming, service of afternoon tea brilliant. I loved every minute and will definitely be booking again. When I saw the Shakespeare Express, the inner child of this 49 yrs old woman squealed with excitement.

Fabulous day out. The timing of the train works really well. We left Burton-on-Trent at a leisurely 11am and were back before 7pm. Quite thrilling to power along the mainline at 60+ mph; a welcome change from the usual trundle on a preserved line. Staff could not have been nicer.
