Saphos: Blue Peter to Carlisle - 12/02/26; Sir Nigel Gresley - 11/03/26; Britannia - 8/04/26

No tour booklet in first class on the Blue Peter run. I presumed they hadn't bothered doing one to keep the ticket price down compared to normal Saphos tours

 

Probably because it's a Wed and those who are still of employment age and don't live near Crewe would require 2 days annual leave

I'd love to book on the Britannia trip but it's work constraints rather than the fare going up £10

£149 for first class unassisted steam is still an absolute bargain

Especially as it's in MK1s which aren't abundant on the network

 

I wholeheartedly agree with you, I missed plenty of trips when I was working and now as a pensioner I can do these trips, yes £149 is an absolute bargain!!

 

Good evening all.

Change of work plans (self employed) means I now have the chance to travel on Wednesday.

If anyone has a spare ticket or tickets please would you be kind enough to drop me a PM? Obviously would pay the full face value of the tickets. Happy to consider either standard or first class.
