Steam Train Travel with Fish & Chips Gift Vouchers (Leicestershire)
Event Summary
Give the gift of experiencing heritage carriages from the 1950s or early 1960s on a 16 mile round trip from Loughborough's beautifully restored station - in easy reach of Birmingham and the wider Midlands.
As we chuff along, you'll see two superbly managed stations; Quorn and Woodhouse which is set in the 1940s and Rothley set in the early 1900s. As this is Britain's only steam railway with double track, look out for other heritage trains whizzing past too!
Fish and chips are served/collected at the half-way point, to be eaten on the return journey. You will also be given with a drink and scrumptious flapjack or large biscuit.
