Your homebound journey will be the highlight of the Settle & Carlisle steam train journey, as this is where you will travel over the world-famous Settle & Carlisle railway line. This journey also will show you some of the most scenic regions of the North Pennines and Yorkshire Dales. As you make the journey over, you will enjoy your five-course dinner, which will be accompanied by a specially selected bottle of wine.
*Steam: Because steam locomotives are antique, the engines do sometimes fail. If this does occur, Northern Belle will reserve the right to substitute the steam train with a suitable replacement. If, for any reason, this is not possible, Northern Belle will run the excursion with a heritage diesel locomotive and offer a credit of £30pp or a voucher of £75pp to put towards a future trip.
For those looking for a private table for two on the Settle Carlisle steam journey, we have to inform you that these have sold out on all departures now for 2024. There is plenty of availability though on shared tables, which offer seating for up to four passengers.
