Celebrate that special occasion, a birthday, anniversary, family reunion or
just indulge yourself and sit back, relax and enjoy the sights,
sounds and senses of main line steam rail travel as it was in the
'good old days'.

Travel
along 'the Shakespeare Line' between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon,
steeped in culture, history and natural beauty. The journey from Stratford-upon-Avon
to Birmingham usually takes a different route via Claverdon and Lapworth through more beautiful countryside, and our steam locomotive often works
up to it's top permitted speed of 60mph! |
 |
A
Heritage Steam Engine will pull the train of Vintage Trains'
traditional rail carriages, all restored authentically to their former
glory. Our standard class features the comfort of seats at a table
for four with large picture windows.
Silver Service & Traditional English
Fayre is available at your seat in Premier Dining in our
ex-BR Mk 1 Pullman Cars. Depending on the time of day, either a full English
breakfast, a freshly cooked 3-course roast lunch with all the
trimmings or that most English institution High Tea will be served.
A wide selection of wines, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages
are also available. Seating in Premier Dining is available at tables
for two and four persons.
Through the Carriage Windows you will
see an ever changing landscape, from Birmingham's fascinating
industrial past to Warwickshire's beautiful countryside with its
working farms, stylish villages and stations, plus glimpses of
waterways and other features that make up Shakespeare's County.
