Vintage Trains announces diesel tours

TYSELEY-based Vintage Trains is offering a veritable feast of vintage diesel traction tours between April and July. Originating in the Birmingham area, the tours will employ a variety of traction, including VT’s Class 20 pairing, Network Rail Class 97/3s and Class 50 No. D400. Destinations include Stratford-upon-Avon, Llandudno, Carlisle, Pwlhelli, Bishops Lydeard and Aberystwyth. Two tours will traverse the Cambrian Coast Line, adding yet more traffic this year to the scenic but often overlooked route (see Railtours, p88). For further details go to: vintagetrains.co.uk
