    Looks to be a great lineup of trips. Major highlight in there is two double headed trips with 5029 and 6024 down to Plymouth which I'm sure will attract some attention. Interesting to see that the Golden Arrow, Lakelander and Welsh Marches trips aren't running for 2027 unless they are yet to be added. Looks like it'll be a busy year for the Great Western pair as I think half of these trips here all are steam hauled from Taunton.

    In true railtour website style I see the Great Western shows a destination of Kingswear when it appears to be going to Plymouth.
    Copy paste alive and well in Crewe as well as Kings Lynn.

    I do hope the Marches Line has not been abandoned by Saphos, as Vintage Trains seem to have done.

    They may be just taking a year off from doing them. The Edinburgh Summer Explorer didn't feature in 2026's lineup of tours but did in 2025. I think it might just be Saphos is rotating around which trips are the focal points for the year.
