Welcome on Board

There is no finer way of exploring Britain than aboard one of our special excursion trains. Our carriages were built in the days when train travel was a truly exciting experience, with comfortable seats and wide picture windows that afford uninterrupted views of the passing countryside.

Our day excursions offer a choice of accommodation:

STANDARD CLASS is very attractively priced, with days out starting at only £37.50. There is a buffet bar on board serving freshly made sandwiches and rolls, hot and cold drinks and a wide range of other light refreshment.

FIRST CLASS DINING is the way to enjoy your day to the full. Enjoy the Great British Breakfast and a fine four-course dinner freshly prepared onboard by our expert chefs and silver-served at you first class seat by our experienced team of stewards. Meals as described are included in the ticket price and drinks may be ordered from the wine list. In line with usual restaurant practice we do ask dining guests not to bring their own drinks.

In addition we are pleased to offer you weekend excursions to Scotland which include your hotel accommodation. August sees the Edinburgh Military Tattoo two-day tour, while in October we are delighted to present our regular favourite, the four-day Autumn Highlander to Kyle of Lochalsh, the Isle of Skye and the Far North Line.

This year UK Railtours is working together with Past-Time Rail Ltd. This brings together the combined resources and unequalled experience of two of Britain’s most prominent rail tour companies.

We look forward to welcoming you on board our special excursion trains very soon!
