    Not sure if this is worthy of a new thread but didn't want to hijack another one.

    Spotted this new advertorial on a local website:

    Steam Trains To Stop in Chiswick

    Said to be for the first time in over 60 years? Also note the Steam Dreams website gives the full dates as currently June 14, June 21, Aug 13 and Dec 17.

    While happy to see The Cathedrals Express stopping at my local station, it does seem a little curious with London Victoria being just a short distance away for locals to travel to.
    Presume they're hoping Chiswick will appeal to those in the wider west London area?

    Not sure whether the Cathedrals Express has stopped there before but other steam charters certainly have. The Railway Touring Company Dorset Coast Express stopped there regularly 2 years ago.
