Looking for the perfect way to celebrate the festive season with friends, family, or colleagues? Join us on our Christmas Forester First Class Dining Train experience – it’s a treat to remember for everyone!
Good company, delicious food and a first class atmosphere. Why stress over cooking a Christmas Dinner when our amazing on-train dining stewards will serve you a delectable five-course feast. Finish your experience with a selection of Teas to choose from, or freshly brewed Coffee and hand finished Mince Pies, all behind one of our heritage main line steam locomotives.
Your journey also includes an interlude at the delightfully atmospheric Rothley Station that’s complete with original Edwardian gas lights, on the return journey.
This Christmas train departs from Loughborough Central Station at 7:00pm and returns at approximately 10:00pm. Please arrive by 6:30pm to be welcomed and guided to your train where you can enjoy the festive ambiance of your reserved, beautifully decorated table.
