Steam Train Rides with Cream tea option

Date
Sat, Mar 14 2026
Features

Climb aboard a heritage carriage from the 1950s/60s and enjoy a nostalgic 20-mile round trip through the Nottinghamshire countryside. Hauled by a steam locomotive, this journey follows the route of the former Great Central Railway towards Loughborough, offering a relaxing journey with beautiful scenery. 

During the journey, indulge in a classic British cream tea served to your seat - freshly served scones with jam & cream and a mini cake, accompanied by unlimited tea or coffee.
