Step aboard the legendary Flying Scotsman and enjoy a luxurious steam-hauled journey through the scenic Warwickshire countryside. This mainline experience offers the perfect blend of nostalgia, comfort, and stunning views, capturing the romance of the golden age of rail travel. Passengers can choose First Class seating in vintage 1960s carriages, enjoying a sumptuous Afternoon Tea served directly to their seat, accompanied by tea and coffee throughout the journey. Standard Class passengers can relax in classic Mk2 carriages and enjoy light refreshments from the onboard buffet. The train winds through charming villages, rolling hills, and picturesque landscapes, creating a truly memorable excursion for heritage rail enthusiasts, couples, families, and anyone seeking a leisurely day of sightseeing.
Departing from Birmingham Snow Hill, the journey allows passengers to unwind, admire the countryside, and soak in the unique atmosphere of a steam-hauled locomotive. Accessibility is available for standard wheelchairs in the Buffet Coach, while e-scooters and similar devices are not permitted. Children must be accompanied by fare-paying adults, and dietary requirements should be communicated when booking. While every effort is made to operate the advertised steam locomotive, substitutions with diesel may occur due to unforeseen circumstances. With reserved seating, scenic vistas, and the distinctive sound and power of the Flying Scotsman, this excursion promises a delightful mix of nostalgia, fine dining, and heritage railway adventure.
