About
Join the GWSR team for a very special evening to celebrate 59 years to the day, since Pendennis Castle 4079 and Capel Dewi Hall 6999 had ‘one last hurrah’ with a celebration of City of Truro’s 1904 run where 3440 was reported to have hit 100mph heading down hill to Taunton.
Arrive at Toddington Station around 6pm, for a 6.30pm departure and enjoy a glass of Prosecco or a soft drink on the platform, listening to some classic 1960’s sounds. Board our special train haulded by Pendennis Castle 4079 where you will ‘speed’ (well at 25mph!) through the beautiful Cotswolds Countryside to Cheltenham. Your steward will serve you drinks from the cash bar at your table. On arrival at Cheltenham Racecourse, whilst 4079 ‘runs around’ you will be served your luxury picnic meal to enjoy as you travel back towards Broadway, at Broadway again the loco will run around and you will return to Toddington at approximately 9.15 pm to leave our evening service, and travel home. As this moment in Steam History, happened in the height of the ‘Swinging Sixties’, there will be a prize for the best dressed couple /group in 1960’s dress (optional).
