UK History & Heritage Railway Tour July 2018 & 2019

O n our UK History & Heritage Railway Tour we will travel as Robert Louis Stephenson travelled, to travel for travel’s sake over many heritage lines on the trains over the routes that were mostly commissioned in the 19th Century when steam provided the new means of transport in this industrial age. Reliving that romantic era of travel we will let the train take the strain as we sit back, relax and travel through the heart of the English countryside. Whether you are taking a trip down memory lane or creating a new one, it’s the perfect way to unwind and experience the nostalgic sights, sounds and smells of steam travel from a Bygone age. This tour is a must for the railway enthusiast wanting to be taken back to the days of steam or for a new disciple wanting to experience steam travel for the first time. To feel the gentle movement of the carriage as the train trundles along the line and then the smell of the smoke as it drifts by the window automatically takes one back to a remembered past or experiencing something for the first time creates a very relaxing aura. We will embark on many heritage railway journeys together and traverse the valleys where the lines were first laid, discover glorious Yorkshire, from the edge of the rugged Dales across the moors to the spectacular coast, pass through market towns, small villages,

woodlands and farmland. All this while we sit back, relax and enjoy our journeys. This is a tour developed for the very special purpose that we hope will, in a small way, ensure those keeping this part of our heritage operating being given the support they need as they keep this working history functioning for the generations who were not fortunate to have steam trains a part of their everyday life. Colonel Graham Fleeton, aided by his experiencedMilitary Historians also invites you to join him on his Battlefield History Tours, to those Battlefields where Australians had fought or his History and Heritage Tours that will take you to places outside the normal world tourist locations.
