SATURDAY 5th SEPTEMBER 2009
A 'merry-maker' style trip to the big smoke from
Nottinghamshire and East Midlands stations, which normally do not get a direct
service to Marylebone.
You will have time to explore the capital, with its fine selection of places to go and things to see, or alternatively stay with us for our mini tour from Marylebone to Quainton Road, home of the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre. We are pleased to offer a reduced fee into the centre of £2.50 payable on the outward leg from Marylebone to Quainton Road
Whatever you choose to do, this is sure to be a fun packed day out that will appeal to families and railway enthusiasts alike...
Spending the day in London and what to beat the queues? EASY! We will be selling London travelcards on the outward trip, normal TFL fares apply.
For our motive power for the tour, have requested the use of x1 Class 37 and x1 Class 33 from West Coast Railways, working in top-and-tail formation.
Our coaching stock should be formed of BR Mk1 open coaches for Standard Class, and Mk2 'Air-Con' open coaches for First Class.
We will also have a sales stand on board from the '71A Loco Group'
