Up & Coming Tours

D1015 Western Champion - the sole Class 52 operating on the mainline - provides some Maybach Magic for a fascinating trip to South Wales.

Centred round Britain's greatest river, the River Severn, we first blast through Severn Tunnel and on to the freight-only line to Machen Quarry.

Then we cross over Severn Tunnel and head along the river to Lydney for a visit to the superb Dean Forest Railway.

Then we cross over the Severn, head through Gloucester and down the seldom used freight branch to Sharpness.

Finally we race through The Golden Valley via Stroud to Swindon and then return to London.
