Hire your own train
article by: GWSR webmaster
Have you ever thought about hiring your own train for a special
occasion? Over the years we have welcomed many groups that have
decided rather than to book seats on a service train they would
rather have their very own train for either a day or an evening.
And with over 250 seats on our steam trains, the cost can work out
at just a few pounds per person. A lot cheaper than hiring a room
at a hotel and completely different!
As examples of events during the past few years, we have been
pleased to play host to wedding groups, golden wedding
celebrations, club outings, brownie visits, family get togethers
and a whole lot more. We have organised special fish and chip
evenings, wine and cheese events, and wine tastings etc. And this
year because we have a split line, we can offer not only our
traditional steam train evening charter from Winchcombe and
Cheltenham Race Course, but also a smaller charter on our
diesel rail car (DMU) from Toddington. So how about hiring this for
a smaller gathering or social outing. And again, the hire can be
for part of the day, the whole day or the evening. You decide!
