There's no better way to visit the medieval
cathedral cities of England and countryside than by
Cathedral's Express train, hauled by a fabulous
steam engine. Travel back in time; imagine the
handsome steam engine puffing gently at the
platform, the gentle rhythm of the piston-driven
wheels taking you to your chosen destination and
courteous staff on board helping to make your
day a truly memorable one.
On boarding, enjoy a glass of bucks fizz; take
brunch on the outward journey and an evening meal
on the return (Premier Dining). Or travel in
traditional First Class corridor coaches with
compartments for six people (includes tea and
coffee).

churches; twisting medieval alleyways;
half-timbered Tudor houses; distinctive houses of
the Huguenot weavers; beautifully proportioned
Georgian and Regency terraces; but above all the
Cathedral, seat of the Archbishop and pre-eminent
centre of English Christianity for over a thousand
years.
