Additional Notes
In addition to the planned itineraries above, the organisers have a number of surprises up their sleeves for the weekend.
The organisers will make every effort to provide the advertised route and locomotives, but the plan is subject to Network Rail validation and final agreement with locomotive providers.
Facilities and Fares
We will be offering Standard Class and First Class accommodation on this train which will be formed of Mark 1 coaching stock throughout.
Fares for GBRf 2021 “This Time it’s Personal” will be as follows:
Single Day Tickets for Days 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be priced at £90 in Standard Class and £135 in First Class.
Single Day Tickets for Day N will be £80 in Standard Class and £120 in First Class.
Whole Trip Tickets will cost £360 in Standard Class and £540 in First Class.
A Full Works package will be available for £860.
A limited number of table-for-two supplements will be available for passengers holding first class tickets. These will be priced at £10/person/day or £50 per person for passengers holding Whole Trip or Full Works tickets.
The Full Works
This option will be for passengers wishing to enjoy the entire four day trip in First Class accommodation, and with an at-seat service of meals provided.
The dining provision for Full Works passengers will be as follows:
Day 1 – Light Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 2 – Full English Breakfast, Lunch
Day N – Curry Night on departure from London
Day 3 – Full English Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4 – Light Breakfast, Sunday Roast, Afternoon Tea
Regular tea and coffee will be served throughout the tour.
Soft drinks/alcohol will be able to be purchased and will be served at your seat.
Buffet
For those not taking the Full Works option, there will be a buffet car on the train selling hot/cold/alcoholic drinks, a range of sandwiches and snacks, as well as some hot food options.
Goody Bags
The Full Works option will also include a goody bag which will contain some unique memorabilia from the trip.
For GBRf 2021 we will also make the goody available to purchase as an add-on to any other type of ticket.
General
On each day, we will try to incorporate short stops where possible to allow a break from the train, and the opportunity to take photographs.
Where possible we will attempt to seat people together where requested. We cannot guarantee this where people have made separate bookings, especially where there is a mix of people joining for individual days and the entire tour.
Due to the logistics involved in the catering, we cannot seat passenger taking the Full Works option with those that are not.
