Step into a beautifully restored 1st class carriage, pulled by a steam locomotive, and travel back in time on the Great Central Railway (Postcode LE11 1RW). Enjoy plush surroundings, making memories and a tasty cream tea accompaniment on our journey.
Take in the experience of riding in this vintage carriage built in 1959 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 set in the 1940s and Rothley from the early 1900s). This is Britain's only steam railway with double track so look out for other heritage trains whizzing past too!
The cream tea consists of a scone, cream, jam, mini-cake and a hot drink. It is possible to request a non-gluten containing cream tea by email with your order number.
We have offered journeys on steam railways for some years and have consistently good reviews, including:
"The organisation of the events is excellent. You are kept well informed all the way from booking to the day. You are made to feel very welcome"
"We had an absolutely fantastic trip today. The trip was well organised, great happy vibe"
"Had a lovely afternoon on the train. Well organised. Definitely recommend you try this trip"
We are not able to welcome dogs onto this service.
All groups on this journey are allocated a private table on board.
