This Summer, we will be taking one of our Castles from the industrial heartlands of the Midlands to the great port city of Liverpool.
The Cathedrals Express departs Birmingham, where the train makes its way out to Nuneaton. Here it joins the West Coast Mainline and ventures to the North West via the famous railway town of Crewe.
On arrival in Liverpool, a city steeped in maritime, musical, and railway history, there is time to explore the revitalised docks, museums, and city centre before the return journey south.
The journey will be diesel hauled between Birmingham and Nuneaton in both directions, with steam leading the way from Nuneaton to Liverpool and return.
