Train Information.
We have made a request for a pair of English Electric Type 1 locomotives
(Class 20s) to haul this tour. A Brush/Sulzer Type 4 (Class 47) locomotive will
haul the train between Huddersfield and Manchester, and also between Manchester
and Huddersfield.
The train will consist of Standard, First and Premier Dining accommodation.
Standard Class
These traditional, comfy British Rail coaches are ideal for a day out. Seating in standard class are arranged in bays of four, the majority with tables.
First Class
If you want a little extra luxury, First class is perfect. The coaches feature
spacious, well padded seats, and will make your trip that bit more special! For
a supplement of £15 per person, a "table for two" can be reserved, giving you a
table to yourself - ideal for couples!
Premier Dining
This includes a First Class seat, breakfast and a 3-course evening meal. Also
there will be an at-seat service providing complementary tea and coffee
throughout the journey. We can be flexible with requirements for children,
please call us to enquire. You are advised not to leave the train before Bolton
on the return journey, to ensure you have enough time to enjoy your evening
meal.
Fares
We are now fully booked.
Catering
There will be a bar on the train, serving real ales provided by the
Greenfield Real Ale Brewery, along with
sandwiches and snacks. There will also be a trolley service in both First and
Standard classes.
Also, if you would like a continental breakfast when you board, this is
available at £6 per person. Please ensure to check the box on the booking form
if you would like a breakfast. This option is available in both standard and
first classes.
