Following the success of last year’s “Festive Capital Express” Christmas themed day excursion train to London, Bishop Trains are operating three further day excursion trains which will be calling at Newton Aycliffe railway station. On Saturday 15th April 2017 the “Easter Eggspress” excursion train will leave the town for Liverpool and will offer around 8 hours in the city, on Saturday 17th June 2017 the “Lincolnshire Explorer” will give passengers the choice of either visiting the Cathedral city of Lincoln or the popular seaside resort of Skegness, the trio of excursions is rounded off with the Santa’s Special train, the “Festive Capital Express”, which will visit Edinburgh on Saturday 18th November.
David Million, Business Partner for Bishop Trains commented “tickets for our 2017 excursion trains are now on sale and our train offers both first and standard seating plus dining options, early booking is particularly recommended for the Festive Capital Express in November which this year is visiting Edinburgh. Passengers travelling on the Edinburgh train will enjoy festive entertainment, mince pies and Santa visiting the children with gifts”.
