| Valentine's Day brings a very special occasion to the Cathedrals Express as we welcome the brand new A1 locomotive Tornado on its first departure from London.
Lunch Tour
The first trip will depart London Waterloo at 0940hrs and take a circular route through scenic English countryside. We return to London Waterloo around 1600hrs having enjoyed a magnificent journey behind the newest locomotive in the country.
Fully booked for Luncheon Trip
Evening Tour
The evening train departs from London Victoria around 1900hrs as we take a trip around the Surrey Hills route via Guildford and Redhill, with the option of just enjoying the journey or having a fabulous meal onboard. Our train will have the added romantic feel as we speed through the dark evening and enjoy the ambience of a train still heated by steam from our engine. We return to London Victoria around 2230hrs.
Fully booked for Evening Trip
