A returning favourite, The Whistling Ghost, sees this steam hauled express head south to the West Country, giving passengers the opportunity to enjoy an early Summer Saturday on the way to the Somerset seaside town of Minehead.
Included with your ticket is the trip along the West Somerset Railway, offering passengers a relaxing journey through the Somerset countryside before alighting at Minehead. It is hoped that a pair of Manors, two of 7802 ‘Bradley Manor’, 7812 ‘Erlestoke Manor’ and 7828 ‘Odney Manor’, will be double-heading the train over the West Somerset Railway, subject to availability.
