Steam Train Trips, Tours & Rides

Enjoy the splendour of the Orient Express with one of our fabulous steam train experiences, from taster trips to days out in the country. You’ll enjoy the very best in service as you dine on a luxurious Orient Express train: many of our packages include brunch, lunch or dinner.

Most trains depart from London: simply sit back and enjoy the rolling countryside. Splash out with an Orient Express day trip on the Northern Belle for two, and you’ll be served brunch when you board (together with a few naughty Bellini cocktails).

You’ll then have the option of joining a city tour at your destination before boarding the train again for Champagne and wine on the way home. Fans of the railway will also enjoy our rover ticket which allows you to explore the quaint villages and stunning scenery of Derbyshire via diesel locomotive, or take your love of trains even further with a full day’s training in Kent as you enjoy learning to drive a steam engine.

Your experienced instructor will show you the ropes before giving you a guided tour of the site. The experience ends with a challenge to test your steamy new skills. Wait... that came out wrong.

FAQs

Q: Do I need to be physically fit to drive a steam train?
A: You don’t need to be super-fit, but it helps if you’re in good health. There’s a certain amount of lifting involved, but the instructor will help you out if you’re not able to do everything. Steam train driving experiences often last a full day, and although you’ll take breaks, you will be standing and/or active for the majority of your experience.
Q: Where do the Orient-Express steam trains go?
A: Most trains take a circular route through the countryside. The precise route will depend on the voucher you buy: you can check this with us before you purchase if you want to take a particular route. Most trains depart from London, but some go as far north as York on their journey, so you should be able to find something that suits you.
Q: Can we leave the train during a steam train experience?
A: Yes, but we recommend waiting until it has stopped in a station first. Some vouchers cover an excursion or complimentary entrance to a notable historic site, whereas others include several meals spaced over the course of a longer journey, so you spend most of the time travelling. Wish.co.uk have a range of vouchers depending on your budget, so you can enjoy a quick steam train ride or really splash out on a day-long excursion.
