On this page we give
details of how we accommodate group travel. This
is of special interest to organisers for coach operators & tour
organisers, however the information
below may be of interest to smaller groups of 12 or more adults travelling
together.
This information covers
very popular 'one-off' excursions to places of interest.
Please note : there is a separate
page dealing with Group Travel on our regular summer Sunday service. Group

At Vintage
Trains we appreciate that coach operators and group tour organisers
play a vital role in the tourism industry moving people to and
from places or events of interest whilst ensuring they enjoy the
experience. Ours is a similar function, excepting the fact that
we use steam-hauled trains to do the moving!
Our regular passenger service between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon,
is an obvious candidate for inclusion in a tour itinerary either
as a group activity in its own right, or as part of a programme
of differing travel experiences in the Midlands.
We will always make every effort to work with a group organiser,
and so have compiled a checklist of our facilities, which will
help to ensure an enjoyable, and trouble-free, tour. |

Ticket Pricing
Ticket prices for steam excursions
are set individually depending upon the particular journey &
route, please contact us for details of group bookings. The discount
will depend upon the group size and the number of adult tickets
purchased, so organisers with minibus vehicles of 16-24 seat capacity
will also be able to take advantage of reduced fares.. To qualify for Group discounts, a party
must consist of 12 or more adults travelling together and tickets
must be pre-booked. |

Coach Parking
Our steam one-off steam excursions start
and pick up from a variety of stations depending upon the particular
route that the train will take. Some of these offer coach parking
facilities. Many of our trains pick up at Tyseley which is 3 miles
south of Birmingham city centre, and free all-day coach parking
is available at our Visitor Centre car park at Tyseley for our customers. |
