A steam locomotive hauling vintage carriages at pace along the mainline does something to people that no other form of travel quite manages. The journeys on this page are hauled by locomotives that have that exact effect. Clun Castle and Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, both Great Western Railway Castle Class engines, haul most of the services listed here, carrying decades of history alongside passionate engineering that keeps them running today. These are working locomotives doing precisely what they were built for.
