THE SHAKESPEARE PULLMAN

Join us this Summer onboard The Shakespeare Pullman for an exciting Sunday afternoon out for the whole family.

Starting at the historic market town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the train runs at express speeds either along the Shakespeare Line, with several stations retaining their original Great Western Railway features, or the Chiltern mainline alongside trains to and from London.

At Birmingham there is a short stop before we depart, so why not watch the steam locomotive run around the train and take some photos as memories of your day out before the train departs once again to return you to Stratford.

Looking to celebrate or just fancy treating yourself? Why not travel in Pullman, where you will be served a 3-Course Sunday Lunch, all at your seat. Or NEW FOR 2026, why not travel in First Class and sample a delicious Afternoon Tea at your seat and watch the world go by.
