Hire your own train

article by: GWSR webmaster

Have you ever thought about hiring your own train for a special occasion? Over the years we have welcomed many groups that have decided rather than to book seats on a service train they would rather have their very own train for either a day or an evening.

For 2013 there are two choices!

You can hire your very own steam train which seats over 300 people for a modest cost which if the train is fairly full works out at just a few pounds per person. We can provide a buffet car service with drinks and snacks or possibly a fish and chip supper. Maybe a wine and cheese evening or a wine tasting appeals. Just ask us!

Or, why not try something really different and hire a diesel rail car. This is much more intimate with one comfortably seating 40 - 50 and another 100 - 150. These are even cheaper to hire than the steam train and are ideal for a family or School reunion, a club outing or maybe something like a display of paintings for invited guests. The possibilities are endless and the cost is very reasonable. We can discuss your refreshments requirements when you make your booking.

Both of these options are much cheaper than hiring a room at a hotel and you get a better view!!

As examples of events during the past few years, we have been pleased to play host to wedding groups, golden wedding celebrations, club outings, brownie visits, family get togethers and so much more. We have organised special fish and chip evenings, wine and cheese events, and wine tastings etc.

This will be a special year for us as we have now opened our full extended line and we look forward to hearing from you.
