2026 Day Trips Now Open for Booking

Our 2026 UK Day Trips brochure is in the works, with many journeys already available to book online. This includes our 2026 Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express day trips, which are now open for booking.

Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express

The Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express offers a wonderful winter escape, combining the comfort of main line travel with the romance of steam. Steam takes over for a memorable circular route through the Cumbrian Fells and along the breathtaking Settle & Carlisle line. With time to explore historic Carlisle and enjoy scenic views across the Pennines, it’s an experience you won't want to miss.

This popular steam train day trip runs from London Euston on Saturdays 7, 21 and 28 February, and we’re also delighted to offer a Manchester Piccadilly departure on Saturday 31 January, steam-hauled throughout. Travelling via Shap to Carlisle and returning over the Settle & Carlisle line, it’s a truly memorable day out.
