About

Enjoy a nostalgic evening tour behind one of our vintage steam locomotives whilst tucking into a delicious meal supplied freshly cooked by the Ugly Duckling restaurant in Lydney, followed by a choice of desserts. Please note that in order to reduce on board contact, we will not be offering the silver-service option this year, but instead the main courses will be served takeaway-style.

Whilst we won’t be able to provide our usual on-board bar service, we will now be offering drinks pre-orders (link to book included in your confirmation email after booking), which will be set up ready at your table before boarding.

In order to ensure distancing on board we will have a limited number of bookings available – find out more about our changes in our COVID-19 Statement – we will also be limiting booking sizes to a maximum of 8 per booking. Please note that everyone in one booking will be seated together. Each booking will then be distanced from other passengers on board.

Please note, we may need to make changes to booking sizes depending on the current Government guidance.
