Will it rain?  Will it snow? The weather forecasters seem to have anything but Spring weather in store for us this Easter.  So what better way to while away some time with a leisurely train ride through the Cotswold scenery.  There may be raindrops running down the glass but the damp weather makes for very atmospheric steam effects as the train follows its polished steal tracks between Cheltenham Racecourse and Toddington.

And the best bit is that kids can travel free this Easter, as revealed in the Daily Express guide to places to visit over the weekend as well as on SoGlos.com - the lively local events website. Every youngster aged 5-15 bringing a fare-paying adult or senior citizen can travel free!  What's more, if you find the train a cosy place to while away the time, you can ride up and down the line as much as you like on the day you visit.

So what are you waiting for: tell the adults in the family that you want a trip into the past on the Costswold's steam-powered time machine!
