The Edinburgh Christmas Hive Saturday 12 December 2026 Join us aboard this special festive train for a memorable journey from Manchester and stations across the North West to the magnificent Scottish capital of Edinburgh. Steam hauled from Carnforth by one of the Carnforth pool locomotives, this seasonal excursion combines classic main line steam with some of Britain's finest railway scenery and the opportunity to enjoy Edinburgh's renowned Christmas celebrations. Our journey begins behind diesel traction from Manchester Victoria as we make our way north, picking up passengers at Bolton, Wigan North Western, Preston and Lancaster. Continuing to Carnforth, our steam locomotive will be attached for the spectacular run north over the West Coast Main Line and its famous mountain crossings. Departing Carnforth behind steam, we head north through Oxenholme before entering the dramatic scenery of the Lune Gorge. One of the highlights of the day soon follows as our locomotive tackles the legendary climb to Shap Summit, ascending five miles at gradients of up to 1 in 75 to reach 916 feet above sea level. Beyond the summit, we descend through the Eden Valley and Penrith before arriving in the historic border city of Carlisle, where a short pause will be made to service and water our locomotive. Continuing north from Carlisle, we cross the Scottish border at Gretna and enter the picturesque landscapes of the Southern Uplands. The route then takes us through Lockerbie and onto the celebrated climb to Beattock Summit, another of Britain's great steam-age challenges. For over ten miles, the railway rises steadily at gradients of 1 in 75 before reaching the summit, after which a more relaxed descent follows through the upper Clyde Valley towards Carstairs. Here we leave the West Coast Main Line and follow the former Caledonian Railway route eastwards to Edinburgh. We expect to arrive in Edinburgh early in the afternoon, allowing several hours to enjoy the city's festive atmosphere whilst our locomotive is serviced for the return journey. The world-famous Edinburgh Christmas Market, located in the heart of the city beneath the castle in Princes Street Gardens, offers a wonderful selection of festive stalls, seasonal food and drink, Christmas gifts and traditional entertainment. Visitors may also wish to explore Edinburgh's many attractions, including Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the National Galleries and the city's excellent museums and shops. For our return journey, steam haulage continues southwards from Edinburgh to Carlisle, retracing our outward route through the Scottish Lowlands and over Beattock Summit. At Carlisle, our steam locomotive will continue south over Shap and through the Lune Gorge to Carnforth, where it will be detached. A diesel locomotive will then take over for the final stage of the journey via Lancaster, Preston, Wigan North Western and Bolton before arriving back at Manchester Victoria later in the evening. Adding to the festive spirit, Father Christmas will be making a special appearance on board during the day, distributing gifts to all children travelling on the train. If you are travelling with children, please advise their names and ages when booking to help make their visit from Father Christmas even more special. A wonderful festive day out combining classic steam haulage, the spectacular climbs of Shap and Beattock, and the magical Christmas atmosphere of Scotland's capital city.

There will be over four hours to explore Bath and visit the famous Christmas Market or travel on to Bristol. ?The Christmas lights will be on, the market will be in full swing, the city will be alive with the sound of Christmas music, and in a truly festive mood. We depart from London Paddington steam hauled and make our way out of the Capital along the Great Western Railway main line. We pick up at Slough and then make our way to Reading where we pick up further passengers. Following the Berks & Hants line, we follow the valley of the river Kennet through to Newbury, our final pick up station, where we pass the Racecourse. At Hungerford, we leave the Kennet behind and follow the Kennet & Avon canal through the Savernake Forest. The gradient steepens for the long climb to Savernake Summit before we enter the attractive Vale of Pewsey and head for Westbury. Approaching Westbury, we pass the famous White Horse carved in the chalk of the hillside. Taking the Avon Valley, we encounter pretty Cotswold stone villages as we pass through Trowbridge and Bradford on Avon. The Dundas Canal Aqueduct spans the Kennet and Avon canal as we head for the city of Bath. The afternoon is free to explore the Georgian city and visit the distinctively 'British' Bath Christmas Market which has over 170 traditional wooden chalets selling seasonal products and gifts. The Abbey, Roman Baths, and Pump Room with its restaurant, all surround the Market site and are central to the main shopping area. However, don't miss Milsom Street, voted 'Britain's Best Fashion Street', and if you wish to see the sights at leisure, hop on a 'City Sightseeing Tours' bus. Meanwhile our train continues to Bristol, another fascinating destination for those who wish to explore this fine city instead. It has several world class attractions including Britain's most acclaimed historic ship, the S.S. 'Great Britain'; Brunel's iconic Clifton suspension bridge; and an historic harbour-side, the location of the M Shed, an exciting new innovative museum.

The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express Saturday 30 January 2027 Start the year with a memorable winter steam journey from the North West into the magnificent landscapes of Cumbria and the Pennines. Travelling north over the West Coast Main Line and the celebrated climb to Shap, we make our way to Carlisle, where there will be time to discover this historic Border city. Our return journey takes us over the spectacular Settle & Carlisle Railway - and, should there be snow on the hills, the winter scenery promises to be especially impressive. Steam haulage is planned throughout the principal part of this wonderful circular journey. Book Now Our train departs Manchester Victoria behind our steam locomotive, calling at Wigan North Western to pick up passengers before joining the West Coast Main Line (WCML). We continue north to Preston, our final joining point, before travelling through Lancaster to Carnforth, where our locomotive will pause to take on water. Leaving Carnforth, the steam locomotive faces its first serious challenge as we tackle the climb towards Grayrigg. From here, we pass through the beautiful Lune Gorge to Tebay before gathering momentum for one of the great main-line steam climbs - the ascent of Shap. With gradients as steep as 1 in 75, Shap has long held a special place in railway history. In the great days of steam, heavy northbound trains were frequently assisted by banking locomotives from Tebay for the demanding climb to the summit. Having crossed the Cumbrian Fells, we descend through Penrith and continue north to Carlisle. Around two hours will be available in Carlisle, giving you the opportunity to explore this fascinating historic Border city. Attractions include Carlisle Castle, its impressive cathedral and Tullie House Museum, while the compact city centre offers plenty of opportunities for shopping, refreshments or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll. In the afternoon, our steam-hauled train departs Carlisle for an altogether different journey south as we join the legendary Settle & Carlisle Railway. Widely regarded as one of Britain's greatest railway journeys, this spectacular route takes us through some of the finest upland scenery in England. The gradients soon begin to make themselves felt as our locomotive climbs through the Eden Valley. At Appleby, we pause to take on water before continuing through Kirkby Stephen towards Ais Gill, the highest point on the Settle & Carlisle Railway at 1,169 feet above sea level. From here, the railway threads its way through a dramatic landscape of sweeping fells, tunnels and impressive viaducts. Among the highlights is the world-famous Ribblehead Viaduct, with wonderful views towards the Yorkshire Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. In winter, this already spectacular landscape can be transformed by frost or snow, making the journey particularly atmospheric. Descending from the high Pennines, we enjoy the run through Settle before reaching Hellifield, where our steam locomotive will make a further water stop. ?From Hellifield, we continue through Clitheroe and across Lancashire to Preston, where we bid farewell to our steam locomotive. Diesel traction then takes over for the final part of our journey, calling at Wigan North Western before returning to Manchester Victoria and bringing a memorable winter day of main-line steam travel to a close. Classes and Fares Premier Dining Premier Dining includes a full English breakfast, followed on the return journey by a four-course dinner, freshly prepared on board and silver-served at your seat.

The Buxton Spa Express Driver John Axon GC Memorial Saturday 13 February 2027 Join us for a very special day of steam travel as we journey through Lancashire, across the Pennines and into the stunning scenery of Derbyshire's Peak District. This memorable excursion pays tribute to Driver John Axon GC, taking in some of the railway routes and landscapes associated with his remarkable story. Book Now Our journey begins at Carnforth, with our steam locomotive heading south through Lancaster to Preston, where we turn east towards Blackburn. Continuing through the Lancashire countryside, we make our way via the steep incline of Copy Pit towards Todmorden by means of the rarely travelled Todmorden west curve. We now head for Rochdale and pass through Summit Tunnel as we cross the Pennines before travelling via Mills Hill and onwards towards Manchester. Our train then takes an unusual route via Brewery Junction and Ashton Moss North Junction, passing through Denton on the rarely travelled line towards Stockport.

From Stockport, we head into the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, travelling through Disley, Whaley Bridge and Chapel-en-le-Frith towards Buxton. The line climbs through some magnificent Peak District scenery, with our steam locomotive working hard over the challenging gradients that were once an everyday feature of steam operations in this area. It was on this stretch of railway on 9th February 1957 that Driver John Axon displayed extraordinary courage when his steam locomotive suffered a serious steam brake failure. Despite the danger, he remained at his post in an attempt to control his runaway train, ultimately losing his life.

The Whitby Flyer Saturday 13 March 2027 This unusual tour by steam train visits the popular east coast seaside town of Whitby. We make our way from London to York hauled by a blue Class 86 electric locomotive, where our steam locomotive for the day is attached. We shall travel through Yorkshire, Teeside and the North Yorkshire Moors to reach Whitby. Our featured steam locomotive for the day will be from the Carnforth pool.

We now follow part of the original Stockton & Darlington Railway of 1825, engineered by George Stephenson, towards Thornaby and Middlesbrough. The railway was the first public railway in the world to have permanent steam locomotives hauling trains. The famous Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge dating from 1911 is a prominent landmark of the area. At Guisborough Junction, we leave the line to Redcar and Saltburn and head for Battersby on the edge of the Cleveland Hills. Here we will reverse direction of travel as the line no longer continues southwards from Battersby. We will now follow the attractive Esk Valley line through the northern section of the North Yorkshire Moors. This is very much a rural line that serves isolated communities and farming is the main activity these days, with walking a popular pastime from the stations along the route. We pass through Castleton Moor and Danby before we reach Glaisdale, where there is a passing loop on the single line. After Egton, we cross the Esk a number of times and reach Grosmont. Here the steam operated North Yorkshire Moors Railway has a station that sees steam trains regularly operating over the 24 miles from Whitby and Pickering. We continue along the Esk Valley through Sleights and Ruswarp and run along side the river Esk as we pass beneath the impressive Larpool Viaduct, which formerly carried the Scarborough to Whitby railway over the valley. Boat yards and a view of the ancient abbey herald our arrival at Whitby. There will be time here to explore the many attractions the town has to offer, including the working harbour, quaint shops and restaurants, the 13th century abbey and St Mary's church reached by the 199 steps, the Dracula museum and there is even a kipper smokery where you can buy the produce! After time in Whitby, we retrace our earlier route back to Battersby, Middlesbrough, Northallerton, Thirsk, arriving in York in the early evening after an interesting and varied day on rural branch lines of the north-east.

The Mayflower Saturday 20 March 2027 On Saturday 20th March, we will once again storm over the metals of South West England, with a double-headed express from Bristol to Plymouth and return, over the South Devon banks in both directions unassisted - offering the ultimate dream for enthusiasts of steam. This special Express, The Mayflower, named after a short-lived British Railways Western Region Express at the end of steam, presents an exciting mainline steam experience that is not often seen, re-creating scenes from the golden age of steam. Leaving Birmingham Snow Hill in the early morning, hauled by diesel locomotive, the train will pick up at Stourbridge Junction, Droitwich Spa, Worcester Shrub Hill, Cheltenham Spa, Bristol Parkway and finally Bristol Temple Meads. The return from Bristol will also be diesel hauled.

The Cumbrian Mountain Express Saturday 10 July 2027 This is a wonderful opportunity for passengers from Merseyside and Lancashire to travel by steam train over two of England's most scenic railway routes. Our train travels north to Carlisle via the West Coast Main Line over Shap and returns by the spectacular Settle & Carlisle Railway line. We have a magnificent steam locomotive to haul these trains, which recall the glorious days of steam train travel. It promises to provide a memorable day out. Book Now Our train will be diesel hauled from Crewe to Liverpool via Runcorn, where we stop to pick up further passengers. We leave Liverpool Lime Street, diesel hauled and stop to pick up passengers at Broad Green and St. Helens Central. We join the West Coast Main Line (WCML) before stopping for more passengers at Wigan. Our final stop for passengers is Preston.

Leaving Carnforth, we pass the Brief Encounter cafeand commence the climb of our first severe gradient up to Grayrigg. We then travel through the beautiful Lune Gorge to Tebay, gaining speed for the ascent to Shap. This well-known section of the WCML has a gradient of 1 in 75 and in the former days of steam locomotives banking engines from Tebay were often used to assist trains. After crossing the Cumbrian Fells we descend to Penrith, and then head for Carlisle. There will be time available in Carlisle to explore this ancient city with its cathedral and castle, plus an assortment of shops and cafes. We leave Carlisle and join the Settle & Carlisle Railway, one of the most well known and best loved stretches of railway line in Britain. We soon begin climbing, and then at Appleby, we stop for our steam locomotive to take on water. The climbing continues through scenic Kirkby Stephen towards the highest railway summit in England at Ais Gill, 1169 feet above sea level. We pass over high viaducts, including the famous one at Ribblehead, and through many tunnels. There are magnificent views across the Fells and to the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. We should have a fast run out of the hills, through Settle, until we stop again for our locomotive to take on water. ?Our journey continues through Hellifield and Clitheroe to Preston where we say goodbye to our steam locomotive.

The Waverley Sunday 18 July 2027 This summer series of steam hauled trains provides an opportunity for passengers from York, Leeds and the Aire Valley to travel over the spectacular Settle & Carlisle Railway, probably the most famous railway route in Britain. These day trips revive the nostalgic former days of steam when travel by train through magnificent scenery was an experience to savour.

Here begins one of the most arduous climbs on Britain's railway network, a total of 15 miles mainly at a gradient of 1 in 100. Once through Settle station, there are magnificent views across the Fells to the Pennine Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. We cross the breathtaking Ribblehead Viaduct, high above the valley floor, and enter Blea Moor Tunnel. We pass through Dent Dale and the highest open station in England at Dent, travelling through tunnels and crossing valleys on numerous lofty viaducts, as we make the final ascent to Ais Gill Summit (1,169 feet). We travel high above the valley at Mallerstang and then drop down through Kirkby Stephen and Appleby, to Lazenby where our locomotive takes on water. We continue to Carlisle and passengers will have about two hours to explore the Border City, possibly visiting the castle, cathedral, Tullie House Museum or the Lanes Shopping Centre.

At Preston, our Class 86 takes over again for the fast run back to London. Book Now We depart London Euston with electric traction and head north along the West Coast Main Line (WCML), calling to pick up passengers at Watford Junction, Milton Keynes, Rugby, Nuneaton and Crewe. We continue north to Preston, our final joining point, before travelling through Lancaster to Carnforth, where we change to a steam locomotive from the Carnforth pool. Leaving Carnforth, our steam locomotive faces the challenging climb towards Grayrigg before we travel through the beautiful Lune Gorge to Tebay and gather momentum for the famous ascent of Shap. With gradients as steep as 1 in 75, this section has long held a special place in railway history. In the days of steam, banking locomotives from Tebay were often used to assist heavy trains over the summit. After crossing the Cumbrian Fells, we descend through Penrith and continue to Carlisle. Around two hours will be available to explore this historic Border city, with attractions including Carlisle Castle, its impressive cathedral and Tullie House Museum, as well as shops and places for refreshments. In the afternoon, our steam-hauled train leaves Carlisle and joins the legendary Settle & Carlisle Railway, one of Britain's best-loved and most spectacular railway routes. We soon begin climbing through the Eden Valley, pausing at Appleby for our locomotive to take on water. The climb continues through Kirkby Stephen towards Ais Gill, the highest point on the Settle & Carlisle Railway at 1,169 feet above sea level. From here, the railway passes through a dramatic landscape of sweeping fells, tunnels and impressive viaducts, including the world-famous Ribblehead Viaduct. There are magnificent views towards the Yorkshire Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, with winter frost or snow adding to the atmosphere. Descending from the Pennines, we travel through Settle, Hellifield and Clitheroe to Preston, where we bid farewell to our steam locomotive. ?Our blue Class 86 electric locomotive takes over for the journey south, passing through Wigan and Warrington to Crewe before a fast run along the West Coast Main Line.

The Cumbrian Mountain Express Saturday 9 October 2027 The Cumbrian Mountain Express offers a wonderful day out, combining a high-speed journey along the West Coast Main Line with the unforgettable experience of steam over the Cumbrian Fells and the spectacular Settle & Carlisle Railway. We travel north from London behind our blue Class 86 electric locomotive before steam takes over at Carnforth for a magnificent circular journey via Shap to Carlisle and back over the Settle & Carlisle line. At Preston, our Class 86 takes over again for the fast run back to London. Book Now We depart London Euston with electric traction and head north along the West Coast Main Line (WCML), calling to pick up passengers at Watford Junction, Milton Keynes, Rugby, Nuneaton and Crewe. We continue north to Preston, our final joining point, before travelling through Lancaster to Carnforth, where we change to a steam locomotive from the Carnforth pool. Leaving Carnforth, our steam locomotive faces the challenging climb towards Grayrigg before we travel through the beautiful Lune Gorge to Tebay and gather momentum for the famous ascent of Shap. With gradients as steep as 1 in 75, this section has long held a special place in railway history. In the days of steam, banking locomotives from Tebay were often used to assist heavy trains over the summit. After crossing the Cumbrian Fells, we descend through Penrith and continue to Carlisle. Around two hours will be available to explore this historic Border city, with attractions including Carlisle Castle, its impressive cathedral and Tullie House Museum, as well as shops and places for refreshments. In the afternoon, our steam-hauled train leaves Carlisle and joins the legendary Settle & Carlisle Railway, one of Britain's best-loved and most spectacular railway routes. We soon begin climbing through the Eden Valley, pausing at Appleby for our locomotive to take on water. The climb continues through Kirkby Stephen towards Ais Gill, the highest point on the Settle & Carlisle Railway at 1,169 feet above sea level. From here, the railway passes through a dramatic landscape of sweeping fells, tunnels and impressive viaducts, including the world-famous Ribblehead Viaduct. There are magnificent views towards the Yorkshire Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, with winter frost or snow adding to the atmosphere. Descending from the Pennines, we travel through Settle, Hellifield and Clitheroe to Preston, where we bid farewell to our steam locomotive. ?Our blue Class 86 electric locomotive takes over for the journey south, passing through Wigan and Warrington to Crewe before a fast run along the West Coast Main Line. We call at the same stations as on the outward journey to set down passengers before returning to London Euston, bringing a memorable winter journey to a close. Classes and Fares Premier Dining Premier Dining includes a full English breakfast, followed on the return journey by a four-course dinner, freshly prepared on board and silver-served at your seat.
