Please note, the itinerary of this tour has changed at short notice, due to Network Rail informing us that there is no spare capacity to accommodate a train of our length at Glasgow Central.

Join us for a scenic day trip to Stirling this Spring. Picking up at the stations listed below, we pass the imposing Cumbrian fells, as we head North, dropping off at Motherwell for those who wish to visit Glasgow, the train will proceed to Stirling (via Coatbridge Central).

We are distributing details of onward travel to Glasgow, to all passengers booked on the tour.

On the return journey we will be travelling via the West Coast route, rather than via the East Coast as previously advertised. Therefore we are unable to set down at York.

The following timings are now confirmed.
