On Saturday 14th June, Saturday 6th September, Sunday 21st September and Saturday 18th October, experience the sights and sounds of a tanker train working alongside our passenger train!
Enjoy a unique experience on Saturday 18th October, when the tanker train will be rideable, while it is hauled by the visiting Class 50 locomotive!
There are very limited spaces to travel on board our Queen Mary Brake van, so we recommend snapping up your space beforehand. The brake van will be positioned at the North end of the tanker rake, meaning you are perfectly placed to enjoy the full English Electric 16CVST experience that 50021 always delivers!
Please note that the departures will all be from Lydney Junction Station, but if you are looking to join us at Norchard Station you can travel up to, and back from, Lydney for the first and second departures on board the steam train at no additional cost. Please note that the third trip will not have a return steam train from Lydney Junction to Norchard available.
Join us in reliving a piece of railway history with our unique tanker train running alongside our steam hauled passenger services. These trains are free to view and photograph, and are run in association with the National Wagon Preservation Group. The locomotive which will be used on each day will be confirmed nearer the day: please see our locomotive roster for these details.
