Introducing… Our enhanced on board experiences

If you join us on a festive day out by steam this Christmas, familiar faces will welcome you aboard our brand new lovingly-refurbished carriages, which were recently featured on My5’s World’s Most Scenic Railway Journeys.

Usher in the festive season on board beautifully decorated carriages where you will be treated to a mince pie in addition to the enhanced service described below.

Whether you indulge in a Pullman Dining experience, choose the comfort of First Class or favour the simplicity of Premium Standard, we can guarantee a wonderful nostalgic experience with unforgettable added touches and an elevated level of service from our liveried staff.

Pullman Dining

Luxurious interiors await you in Pullman Dining. The tables are adorned with the finest glassware and crockery, complemented by fresh flowers and a brand new seasonal menu.

Passengers will be welcomed on board with a glass of bubbly before being served a traditional breakfast with all the trimmings. On the return journey, soak up the atmosphere from a bygone era as canapes are served before the sumptuous evening meal with a half bottle of wine per person.

First Class

You don’t need to dine on board to travel in style. In First Class you will be seated in elegant 1950s carriages with comfortable seating around tables for four and tables for two.

Our staff will welcome you on board the with a glass of Bucks Fizz as you sink into your comfortable seats.

Our culinary team are devising a delicious combination of sweet and savoury treats for both the outward and return journeys which will be confirmed before you book.

Premium Standard

Premium Standard tickets give you everything you need and more from a steam day out experience; complimentary tea and coffee, comfortable refurbished seating and a souvenir booklet about your day.

If you can draw your eyes away from the changing view, you can pay a visit to our new Buffet Car to purchase from a delectable selection of festive snacks or something from our drinks menu.

Our Christmas trips will be announced soon. To be among the first to be notified, click here to register your interest.

    1. Hi Liz I’m afraid as we are based in London we don’t often offer trips from Bristol. Sometimes our friends over at Saphos Trains offer trips from Bristol. Find out more here: https://saphostrains.com/trips-tours/
