- April - Nov
- The Shakespeare Express
Join us this for a delightful Sunday trip from Birmingham to Stratford-Upon-Avon through pretty Warwickshire countryside – complete with a famous express steam locomotive from the golden age of train travel.
Quick Details
A steam hauled trip with Earl of Mount Edgcumbe over the famous and steeply graded Shap fells incline with time to visit Carlisle city. Our train will run over the West Coast Main line hauled by vintage diesel to (Crewe) where our locomotive will be changed to Earl of Mount Edgcumbe for the demanding hill climbing journey to Carlisle where we will have time to explore whilst our locomotive is serviced for the return journey.
