Steam Train Holidays in the UK, Europe and Worldwide

Each year we provide an ever changing programme of tours, some that run on an annual basis with updated itineraries to include new elements and activities. Others that are brand new tours running for the very first time, this year includes – Isle of Man and Ireland. Believe it or not travelling by steam train along ‘main lines’ is still a possibility in a number of countries across the world. We take full advantage of this, wherever possible, by using specially chartered trains for our tour parties, travelling over unusual routes that are rarely used by passenger trains. We offer an interesting variety of steam locomotives representing various track gauges, taking advantage of these opportunities whilst they are still available. Many of our tours make use of the Channel Tunnel by using the Eurostar services available, some would say this is an experience in itself. Destinations such as Austria, France, Germany and Switzerland can be reached comfortably in a single day, using the ever increasing network of high speed railway routes that are available.

 Some of our holidays use the same hotel in one location for the full duration of stay, using this as a base for day trips mainly by train.

Tours that make use of a one centered hotel include the following: Lake Constance and Four Countries (St Gallen); Swiss Bernese Oberland (Wengen); and Alpine Steam Express (Solothurn) and our brand new Isle of  Man tour, just to name some. This is a forever changing trend that seems to become more popular from year on year, providing our customers with a home from home experience.     The variety of countries visited by our tours includes many European destinations, some of our most popular are Switzerland in winter (“Highlights of Switzerland”); “Winter in Austria & Bohemia”; Bulgaria (“Black Sea Express”); Norway; France (“Autumn in Alsace”); “Highlights of Germany to the Harz Mountains, Isle of Ireland ("Emerald Explorer")  Our wide range of holidays ensure that there is something of interest for everyone

We have many holidays available in the UK, ranging from the Orkney ("Far North and Orkney") and Shetland Isles ("The Shetlander") to Devon and Cornwall ("West Country Explorer")  Venture to North Wales ("Snowdonia and Northern Fells") Embrace the lakes in Cumbria ("English Lake District") visit Her Majesty the Queen's country estate at Sandringham ("The East Anglian").

World's biggest airport in Saudi Arabia: What makes it special?

Riyadh: Saudi Arabia is gearing up to open the world’s biggest airport by 2030. The General Authority of Civil Aviation in the country said that the King Salman International Airport, currently under construction here, will be the biggest in the world when it is finished. Spanning over 57 square kilometres, it is being constructed for a whopping budget of 23 billion pounds. As per reports, it will have six huge runways besides an impressive 12 kilometres set aside for retail outlets to enhance the passengers' shopping experience. The design and construction of the airport are overseen by the noted global architecture firm Foster + Partners. The new airport is assumed to serve 120 million passengers and will likely create 1.5 lakh job opportunities. Integrating the current terminals at the King Khalid International Airport with the new airport is also a part of the mega project.

An eco-friendly airport The authorities hope that the new airport will be able to handle more than 185 million passengers as well as 3.5 million cargo by 2050. King Salman International Airport is part of the Kingdom’s vision to transform Riyadh into a major global logistics hub as well as provide an impetus to the transport, commerce and tourism sectors of the country. Moreover, Riyadh would be a bridge that connects the East with the West. The airport, which is expected to follow eco-friendly practices, will have measures to conserve water and electricity through the latest technology.

‘fleabag’ stars reunite at taylor swift eras tour as they dash to vip tent to dance.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Fleabag and the Hot Priest, together once more!

Former  Fleabag  co-stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scott were spotted in the crowd at a recent London date of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, having a moment that will be very relatable to any concertgoer.

The pair, who played forbidden love interests in Waller-Bridge’s hit TV show, were seen leaving the VIP tent on the stadium floor during the show.

They were presumably dipping out for a tactical bathroom / bar break during the epic three-and-a-half hour performance, but as they headed for the exits, suddenly, the opening notes of a Swift classic rang out:  Style , a single from Swift’s 2014 pop opus,  1989.

Suddenly, all plans were abandoned, as the pair clutched each other and sprinted back to the VIP tent for a dance – stopping only to quickly exchange a Swift friendship bracelet with a fan.

The former TV co-stars are among a bevy of big celebs who’ve been spotted at Swift’s London shows, which took over Wembley Stadium over the past few days.

Stars Tom Cruise, Liam Hemsworth, Hugh Grant, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis along with Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce were  all spotted dancing  along to  Shake It Off  from the confines of the VIP tent at Wembley Stadium.

In  another clip,  a happy-looking Cruise exchanged friendship bracelets with fans.

And Swift even bought her football star boyfriend on stage for the third night of her Wembley Stadium stop.

In a sweet moment, the Super Bowl champ  carried his girlfriend on stage  before she performed the new song  I Can Do It With a Broken Heart .

Kelce was also spotted in the VIP tent at one of Swift’s Sydney shows during the Eras tour’s visit down under earlier this year. That was a similarly star-studded affair, with Katy Perry, Rita Ora, Baz Luhrmann and Toni Collette among the celebs  crowding into the VIP area  to watch the show.

But they don’t get much more famous than the very VIP guests Swift  took a selfie with backstage  in London: the future King of England himself, Prince William, who took children Prince George and Princess Charlotte for a night out at the concert.

However, a royal insider told  Hello magazine  that there was actually chaos behind the scenes ahead of backstage snap.

“They [the royals] had a nightmare getting in, they were running really late but they had planned to get there earlier so they could have the meet and greet with Taylor beforehand because they knew they wanted to leave early,” the source said.

They also claimed that the Prince of Wales and his two eldest children had attempted to keep a low profile by staying toward the back of their box – but a clip of William enthusiastically dancing to  Shake It Off  managed to go viral anyway.
