The Steam Dreams Rail Co. have announced a new itinerary this year – starting out from Alton and Alresford to take locals on a wonderful day out by steam train to either the Salisbury Christmas Market or Sherborne for Carols, and you too could be on board! We’ve teamed up with The Watercress Line to offer one lucky winner a pair of Premier Dining tickets for this fabulous festive trip, worth £418*.

On Monday 17 December, the lucky winners will board the train at a station of their choice including Alresford, Alton, Farnham, Guildford, Petersfield or Salisbury and will be served a champagne brunch, as the train, hauled by vintage diesel locomotive, makes its way through the rolling hills of Hampshire and Wiltshire on its way to Dorset.

The train will pull into medieval Salisbury at 13:00 where passengers may choose to alight and enjoy some time to explore the Christmas Market, now in its 7th year. Alternatively the winners can choose to stay on the train for the journey along the Nadder Valley, through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to Sherborne.

The winners will have time to explore this beautiful town or enjoy an atmospheric carol service at the famous Abbey, before rejoining the train at around 17:50 to enjoy a delicious dinner on the journey home, before arriving back at their starting station in the late evening.

Tickets for this spectacular journey are available in all four classes, ranging from £109 per person in Premium Standard through to the top class of Pullman Style Dining of £269 per person.

Information About The Trip

There will be a two minute silence at 11am on board the train to commemorate Armistice Day. We’re delighted to be celebrating the belated return to the tracks of the magnificent 6201 Princess Elizabeth with an Armistice Day Special to East Anglia, including an opportunity to visit RAF Duxford.

Lizzie will pull into Whittlesford Parkway, where you can alight to spend the afternoon visiting the historic airfield and museum of aviation history at Duxford, before being transferred to Cambridge by road coach to meet the train.

If you choose to visit Cambridge you will have plenty of time to explore this attractive university town, whilst those who choose Ely can visit the glorious 12th Century Cathedral, with its impressive Octagon tower.

Those who stay on the train to its final destination will arrive in Norwich at approximately 15:00, where a tour around Norwich Cathedral, the most complete Norman Cathedral in England, is highly recommended.

The journey is rostered to be steam hauled throughout by 6201 Princess Elizabeth.

Board the train at London Victoria, West Hampstead, Broxbourne, Harlow Town or Cambridge
