This November, The Cathedrals Express returns as we head north to Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh.
The day begins at Coleshill Parkway as we head diesel hauled via the East Midlands to Yorkshire and the North East. Our train will then pause at Darlington, where 60163 Tornado will join the train.
From Darlington, Tornado will take the train over the East Coast Mainline, through stunning Northumberland scenery, before crossing the border into Scotland and heading west to Edinburgh.
The historic city of Edinburgh has plenty to offer visitors, including the Castle towering over the city, views of the Firth of Forth, Georgian architecture, pretty gardens, museums, as well as their Christmas Market which opens on the day you travel.
The return journey will see us return via the same route, with Tornado leaving the train at Darlington, as our diesel locomotive takes the train onwards to the Midlands.
This train will see Vintage Trains return to Scotland for the first time in 14 years, so is one not to be missed!
