Step back to the golden age of luxury rail travel as the opulent Pullman style carriages of our celebrated ‘Statesman’ train offer the perfect setting for a circular daytime tour through the beautiful northern landscape as you relax in armchair comfort and enjoy a succulent 7-course meal as the beautiful countryside passes by. Whether a gift for someone special or simply a chance to spoil yourself, this wonderful experience promises a day to remember…..

This unforgettable circular tour offers a journey through Britains rich landscape as we travel through Cheshire and at historic Chester, we pass beneath the Roman Walls and over the River Dee, we then enjoy the beautiful rolling countryside and hills of the Welsh Marches around Wrexham passing aqueducts, tunnels and viaducts. Along the way, look out for the World Heritage site at Pontcysyllte, this stunning aqueduct known as the stream in the sky can be seen from the train window.

At Shrewsbury we take the scenic route through Telford passing RAF Cosford towards the Black Country and at Stafford we travel homeward relaxed and refreshed reflecting on memories and times spent with loved ones on this truly elegant vintage train.

Mobility: This tour is not suitable for guests requiring the use of a wheelchair or with serious mobility issues.
