Details for the Vintage Bus Trip and Steam Train Roast Dinner

Product ID: 15567

Enjoy a nostalgic bus journey to Ecclesbourne Railway for a steam train roast dinner! These weekend day trips, departing from various locations around north Nottinghamshire, offer a fantastic day out. Your day begins aboard a vintage coach, heading west through old mining towns and villages into Derbyshire, where the scenery shifts from urban to rural as the Peak District comes into view. Once in Wirksworth, you’ll step off the vintage bus to board the steam train (yes, it's that exciting!). The Ecclesbourne Valley heritage railway connects Wirksworth and Duffield, providing a charming experience. To top off this vintage adventure, you'll enjoy a three-course roast dinner onboard the Derbyshire Countryman—featuring Derbyshire beef, homemade Yorkshire puddings, gravy, and roast potatoes. Delicious! After your scenic steam train ride along the Ecclesbourne Railway, the vintage bus will return you to your original departure point. We believe these Ecclesbourne Railway steam train and roast dinner trips, combined with classic bus transport to and from Wirksworth, offer excellent value for a fun family day out. The hearty roast is sure to please! Purchase your voucher now to reserve your spot, as these trips are always in high demand!

Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Great communication from the coach company. Well organised, great value for money. We had a carriage to ourselves which made it special and private. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, could not fault it. We had a lovely day and this is definitely a birthday to remember

We loved our trip Burty the Bus was an experience in itself, the station and museum shop was interesting. We got a real steam train and the food and carriage was gorgeous Id perhaps have liked a slightly longer train ride but it was long enough. Wed recommend and go again

Lovely vintage bus and train ride through Derbyshire with Sunday lunch. Service and friendliness of staff was excellent throughout. Only niggles were the mains could have been hotter and the parsnips actually cooked.
