The Cathedrals Express heads north to Edinburgh this November, Vintage Trains’ first journey to Scotland in 14 years. The train runs diesel-hauled from the Midlands to Darlington, where steam locomotive 60163 Tornado joins to take over for the run across the border and into Edinburgh.
What’s included in every ticket:
- A journey from the Midlands to Edinburgh and back in a single day, diesel-hauled to Darlington and steam-hauled onward behind Tornado
- Around two hours in Edinburgh, with the Castle, the Old Town, and the Christmas Market, which opens on the day you travel, all within easy reach
- Comfortable seating with picture windows and a buffet car on board, with bacon rolls and afternoon tea available to pre-order
First Class includes a light breakfast and afternoon tea served to your seat in our authentic 1960s coaches, while Pullman Dining starts with a full English breakfast on the way out, and wraps up with a four-course evening dinner, served in one of our original Pullman Cars.
