Boarding the train at your chosen departure station, relax in the comfort of your surroundings onboard your authentic 1960s Pullman Car as you are served a Full English Breakfast, with tea and coffee, orange juice or water. As you finish your breakfast, enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the historic steam locomotive hauling your train as it brings you closer to Stratford-upon-Avon.
At Stratford, passengers will have several hours with which to explore the historic market town and birthplace of William Shakespeare. There is plenty to see and do, whether that’s a walking or hop-on hop-off bus tour of the town, the Butterfly Farm or explore the picturesque riverside. Shakespeare Express passengers can also access 20% off Shakespeare’s Birthplace when booking tickets for this attraction online with our exclusive link (this will be sent with your final confirmation email).
