ATR EXPRESS STEAM TRAIN TRANSFER DIRECT TO CHELTENHAM RACECOURSE FOR THE NOVEMBER MEETING

THE EXPERIENCE

Classic Hospitality offers you and your guests the unique opportunity to avoid the Cheltenham November Meeting race traffic by starting your journey at Toddington railway station and taking our magnificent At The Races Express steam train directly to the back of the main Grandstand at Cheltenham Racecourse. This experience is very similar to taking a helicopter into the Grand Prix as it avoids all of the traffic in and around the racecourse and takes the stress out of travelling to a major sporting event. Instead of getting stuck in the traffic, you’ll start and end your day in style as you are hauled in luxury vintage carriages by a fine thoroughbred steam locomotive.

Step back in time and relish first class travel as you enjoy a stress-free 35 minute journey through the beautiful countryside of the Cotwolds, Malverns and Vale of Evesham pulled by a magnificent steam train locomotive. Allocated seating is provided on the train and each seat on board has access to a table so you have plenty of room to get out your racing posts and cram in some last minute form study. A full cash bar service is also available throughout the outbound and return journey where tea, coffee, beers, wines, soft drinks and Champagne are available to purchase. Private 1st class 6 seater compartments as well as private carriages for larger groups are also available (please contact us for details).

You will arrive relaxed and in style as you pull into Cheltenham Racecourse station which is situated just a furlong from the Paddock and opposite the North entrance. You will pass close by to the traffic queuing to get in and out of the racecourse – a truly amazing and amusing experience.
