On Saturday 26th September 2026 we are taking The British Pullman – a Belmond train – to Worcester and back, for UK Railtours. Come and join us, and enjoy the luxury of a bygone age.
Upon departing Victoria a delicious brunch is served with Bellini as we run via the West London Line to gain the Great Western mainline at Acton, then proceed via Slough, Reading and Didcot. At Swindon we take the ‘Golden Valley’ route through Kemble, the summit at Sapperton tunnel and Stroud before passing Gloucester. Our Pullman train then continues to the charming cathedral city of Worcester, on the banks of the River Severn.
A three hour break in Worcester will give plenty of time to take in the many attractions the city has to offer, before the departure back to London. A sumptuous four course dinner with wine and Champagne will be served as our return journey unfolds. ‘Clan Line’ will return from Worcester via the scenic Cotswold line, through Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-in-Marsh and Charlbury, which rarely sees a steam train these days. Stopping for water shortly after Oxford, our outward route will be regained at Didcot, again returning to the Capital by way of Reading, Slough, Acton and the West London Line.
