Open Seating: 

  • Groups of four will be given their own table. If your group is larger than four, we will seat you across the aisle from each other so you can still sit close together and enjoy the event as a group. 

Compartment Seating: 

  • The number of people a compartment ticket for is the maximum allowed in that compartment. We do allow one additional young child or infant, beyond the stated maximum, however you must add an infant or child ticket when making your booking.
  • For larger groups, we recommend booking open-style seating to be seated together, or purchasing multiple compartments. While we can't guarantee it, we'll do our best to allocate compartments next to each other if they are booked in the same order. 

We're delighted you are considering celebrating a special occasion with us! 

Please note that access to your seats on board is usually limited before departure, as the train spends only a short time in the station between trips. 

You're welcome to bring decorations to display in your compartment or on your table. For safety and preservation reasons, only Blue Tack is permitted - no tape or pins please. 

If you'd like to bring a birthday cake, that is absolutely fine; however, candles are not permitted on board.
