A high speed run on the East Coast Mainline then takes the train through Peterborough to Connington Loop where a water stop is made. A further high speed run into London, where a six hour break allows ample time for shopping or visiting some of the many tourist attractions. The return takes the same route with the steam locomotive working all the way to Derby, where diesel haulage takes over for the remainder of the journey. A great nostalgic day out for those who remember days out by train and being hauled by an express steam locomotive for a day in the Capital city.
