Our first excursion of 2010 will take us to Chichester and Portsmouth via London. On our outward journey we will take an unusual route from London Victoria via Wimbledon to Epsom, Dorking and the picturesque Arun Valley line; on our way home we run along the coast via Worthing and Hove, then up the Brighton main line back to London Victoria.
Seats are still available in all parts of the train.
Club Class has only a few seats remaining.
We have published detailed timings, which are in general pretty close to those listed in the original leaflet; please note that they are not finalised and may yet be altered as the date of the trip approaches.
If you cannot view PDF files, or the above method is not convenient to you, please email us or ring 01424 812254 and we will provide further details and/or post you a paper copy. This will also enable us to gauge the need (if any) for generating a separate non-PDF version of the railtour information.
Our spring excursion will be to Bridgnorth, Shropshire, with our train traversing the [Severn Valley Railway]. The trip will call at the usual pick-up points plus Clapham Junction and Reading; it will be routed via Swindon outbound, and via Oxford on its return.
We are making plans for further railtours during 2010. These are set to include:
Saturday 19 June 2010: Minehead and the West Somerset Railway, possibly including stops at Redhill, Guildford and Reading.
At present these plans (as listed immediately above) have not reached maturity, and therefore bookings are not yet being taken — we do not have costings and so cannot calculate fares yet, quite apart from other considerations.
We will post full details and booking information as soon as we generate them, and those on our emailing list will receive notifcation when this has been done.
We can recommend a dip into the HDL Railtour archive, which contains details of all the previous “days out” which HDL has operated to date.
