About the event

The Shakespeare Express from Birmingham
Join us this summer for a delightful Sunday trip from central Birmingham through pretty Warwickshire countryside to Stratford-upon-Avon – complete with a famous express steam locomotive from the golden age of train travel.

As the train departs from Birmingham, the landscape gradually transforms, offering passengers a picturesque journey towards the charming town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Rolling hills dotted with lush greenery and quaint villages, unfold outside the windows, creating a serene backdrop for the ride.

As the train approaches Stratford-upon-Avon, the anticipation builds among our passengers eager to explore the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The tranquil ambiance of the train ride will prepare you for a day of leisurely strolling through the town’s charming streets and pathways, visiting its historic landmarks, and immersing themselves in its rich cultural heritage.

Overall the train ride from Birmingham to Stratford offers a relaxing and unique express of the “Golden Age of Travel” but also a serene and scenic journey through the heart of the English countryside, setting the tone for a memorable day.

Available on this train is our Pullman dining service, featuring a Full English Breakfast, Afternoon Tea, Tea and Coffee all served at your seat. We also offer an Afternoon Tea service in Tourist.

The train picks up passengers from Birmingham Snow Hill, Birmingham Moor Street and Tyseley.
