Legendary Journey with Tornado (April Three Day Tour)

Friday 16th to Sunday 18th April 2027

Experience the power of mainline steam with the wonderful Tornado locomotive from either Banbury or Derby to York and Skipton.

Choose to board at Banbury or Derby where we will make our way to the lovely city of York. Enjoy free time in the afternoon and evening in York to explore the historic city walls, discover the many attractions, or visit the free-entry National Railway Museum. Spend the night in York (not included) before boarding our vintage train once again on Saturday at York for an excursion to the lovely market town of Skipton. We'll return to York later in the day, for another overnight stay (not included). Have a leisurely morning in York before our return trip powering back towards Derby and Banbury on Sunday afternoon.
