Train Information.

We have sourced two Class 56s from Hanson Rail. A Class 57 will lead between Bristol and Bath. On the return, the 57 will lead from Bath to Bristol where the 56s will lead back North.

The train will consist of Standard, First and Premier Dining accommodation. 

Standard Class

These traditional, comfy British Rail coaches are ideal for a day out. Seating in standard class are arranged in bays of four, the majority with tables. 

First Class

If you want a little extra luxury, first class is perfect. The coaches feature spacious, well padded seats, and will make your trip that bit more special! For a supplement of £15 per person, a "table for two" can be reserved, giving you a table to yourself- ideal for couples!
