Two generations of top link GWR motive power - none other than D1015 Western Champion and King Edward I - come together for our exciting tour celebrating the railway's 175th anniversary! With D1015 at the head from Paddington we travel to Bishops Lydeard. Here the King will be waiting and the two historic locos double-head our heavy train over the gradients through the scenic Quantock Hills on the West Somerset Railway to Minehead. We take a seaside break of three hours. You will have the chance to travel on scheduled WSR trains at reduced price. We leave Minehead at 16.00, and once past Norton Fitzwarren King Edward I will be on 'home ground' in sole charge, storming up the winding Berks & Hants Line via Somerton all the way to Paddington.
