ABOUT

PATHFINDER RAILTOURS

Pathfinder Railtours have been happily based in Gloucestershire for many years, offering a wide programme of special trains for those who just love to travel by rail.

We arrange relaxing days out to destinations and events of great interest. We even cater for those with an enthusiastic interest in the country’s complex rail system, whether the modern scene or looking back to the days of steam.

In these modern days, where ‘green’ and ‘environmental impact’ have become buzz words, we believe that we can be proud of offering great days out whilst lessening the impact on our surroundings. 500 passengers, one locomotive and twelve carriages certainly seems a better deal than maybe 200 plus cars… and it is a more relaxing journey, especially if you are the car driver!

Pathfinder Railtours are delighted to announce that D1015 Western Champion has successfully passed its loaded mainline test run on Sunday. We can also confirm that the locomotive is now cleared to haul 'The English Riviera Airshow' rail excursion on Saturday 1st June. The train will be timed to run at 75mph with load 12 and a Class 50 on the rear for insurance. We are told that this will be common practice for every railtour with D1015 moving forward. With this breaking news, we anticipate that this excursion will now sell out very quickly, so if you intend on booking, do not delay as advanced sales are already high. We would like to thank GBRf, The DTG, Class 50 Alliance and Riviera Trains for their assistance in the testing of this locomotive to give us the ability to run these special rail excursions with Swindon's finest Hydraulic!
