This extraordinary steam-hauled excursion from London Victoria promises a captivating journey through the picturesque landscapes of Surrey and Hampshire, with a chance to discover the festive charm of the acclaimed Bath Christmas Market.

Step aboard at London Victoria and enter an enchanting world of vintage rail travel. As you settle into your cushioned seats, we begin our journey, carving our way south before crossing the Thames to chug out through the suburbs. With London receding into the distance, we pick up speed making our way through Surrey to Hampshire, with views of the Solent. The adventure continues through the undulating hills and serene beauty of Wiltshire, before meandering through the splendid countryside of the Avon Valley.

The highlight of the trip awaits in the elegant Georgian City of Bath, where guests can indulge in the joys of the festive season with unique gifts, delightful treats, and handcrafted treasures. After a wonderful break, we meet at the station and welcome you back on board for our homeward journey. On the return journey, we change locomotives at Salisbury, waving goodbye to our steam engine to be whisked home in comfort and style by a vintage diesel.
