Quick Details
This train is now SOLD OUT. Why not explore one of our other Express Steam Trains such as The Cathedrals Express to Lincoln, The Blackpool Illuminations Express or The Christmas White Rose to York.
Named after a short-lived British Railways Western Region Express at the end of steam, we are reviving this express for an exciting mainline steam experience.
The Mayflower will leave from Birmingham, diesel hauled, to our pick-up stations through to Bristol.
From Bristol the tour really comes alive, as our two Castle Class locomotives, Clun Castle and Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, will double head The Mayflower unassisted to Plymouth over the Devon banks in both directions, recreating thunderous scenes of a bygone era over the Great Western Mainline.
Upon arrival back at Bristol the tour will once again be diesel hauled for final leg to Birmingham.
