Edinburgh

Join us for a nostalgic day out aboard our heritage diesel hauled special to Edinburgh

Sit back, relax and travel north of the border to enjoy all the attractions of Scotland´s beautiful capital city, all from the comfort of your seat in some of the oldest working carriages in operation today. Some of these carriages served throughout the golden age of rail, some featured in the Harry Potter movies and have all been lovingly restored. These traditional carriages will be hauled by a vintage diesel engine.

After picking up our passengers we travel over the Lakeland Fells and Shap Summit before dropping through the Eden Valley. From Carlisle we take the West Coast Mainline to Edinburgh running via the Borders and Beattock summit.

Edinburgh is one of our most popular destinations and there is no wonder. First there is the journey north with the stunning scenery to admire, then there are the attractions of Edinburgh which include the famous castle, numerous museums, galleries and the shops of Princess Street, Holyrood Palace and the Royal Mile.

EDINBURGH is Scotland's compact, hilly capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur’s Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials 

A break of 3 hours is enjoyed at a city that has something for everyone. For those who want to enjoy the sights there’s the world famous castle, Royal Yacht Britannia, grand architecture everywhere you turn, as well as an infinite selection of museums, art galleries and visitor attractions to suit all tastes.
