We had a great trip on34067 TANGMERE .went First class. We were given a very good Rout Guidwith time table.and some history. The staff were great thank you

What a fantastic way to experience the magic and history of steam trains from an era when rail travel was luxurious. RTC does this with effortless perfection.
