The train will depart from Toddington Station at 7:00 pm for a leisurely journey through a Cotswold evening. Your specially prepared food will be served to you in heat retentive containers at Cheltenham Race Course station where there will be time to visit the original GWR station building and watch the steam engine "run round" the train before the return journey to Toddington.

Arrival back at Toddington will be around 9.30pm. There will be a Buffet Car on the train open throughout the evening selling a wide range of drinks including our own Rail Ale, Track Cider, wines and soft beverages.  Passengers may not bring their own refreshments onto these special trains.

We can also offer a charter service, running a fish and chip train to your requirements. We can cater for a party of up to 170, though can normally accomodate train hires for as few as 60 passengers, which can make an unusual evening out for your firm, club or perhaps even a special party.
