Steam Dreams Christmas Trains 2026

Travel in vintage carriages from Essex to Chester's magical Christmas Market on this Steam Dreams day trip, running on Thursday 19th November 2026. The train picks up at Southend Central, Leigh-on-Sea, Barking and Milton Keynes, skirts London where the steam locomotive joins, then runs to the historic city of Chester. Around 80 traders surround a 90ft tree by the town hall, and there is time to explore Chester's 700-year-old Rows, city walls and cathedral before the return journey. First Class (non-dining, bring your own picnic with complimentary tea and coffee and a welcome drink) starts from 245 pounds, and Pullman Dining, with a multi-course breakfast out and a four-course evening meal back, starts from 465 pounds. Book online in advance.
