Vintage Trains is one of the U.K.'s leading operators of main line steam train excursions.

We also operate other popular tours using classic diesel and electric locomotives.

Based in the Midlands, we offer an attractive and varied choice of destinations and excursions to popular events. See Programme>>

The Shakespeare Express is a regular summer Sundays only steam train service running between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon.

This web site aims to tell you about our operations and how you too can join our regular customers who enjoy the sights, sounds and experiences of railway travel of a bygone era - truly Classic Days Out!

As a subsidiary of the Birmingham Railway Museum Trust, ticket sales income is reinvested in running, maintaining and rebuilding historic engines, rolling stock and equipment kept at our home base - Tyseley Locomotive Works>>

We have an active supporters group called the Vintage Trains Society. Many members volunteer to help keep the trains running.
