WHY VINTAGE TRAINS
British railway
heritage in action
Vintage Trains operates from Tyseley Locomotive Works in Birmingham, one of the country’s leading centres of steam locomotive preservation. Every journey runs on the national mainline, hauled by restored locomotives that have been maintained to the same standards they were built to.
WHAT OUR PASSENGERS SAY
“We took the Shakespeare Express for my husband’s birthday and we loved it even more than we expected to. Watching the countryside from an old carriage made the whole day feel like an experience. We were in Stratford by lunchtime and saw Shakespeare’s birthplace and had lunch before heading back. Was great.”
Imogen
“I booked mainly for the train, but the meal on board was one of the best bits of the day. Everything was cooked properly and our favourite bit was the full English in the morning.”
Freya
“For us, it’s all about the people. All the volunteers we spoke to clearly loved what they do and we loved talking to them about it. You can tell the whole thing is run by people who care, not just people doing a job.”
