Customer Quotes Just a short message to thank you for a most enjoyable day out on the CME. Neither engine let us down and both put up excellent performances. Thanks to the respective owners and crews. Also thanks to the stewards in coach E and who really looked after us. It was also a big birthday for me and I received a nice gift from one of the stewards on behalf of and many thanks to all of you. G Neal.
Thanks a million!!!!!! Dear everyone involved! I would like to send my wife and my sincere thanks to all concerned on yesterday’s trip to York behind Duchess of Sutherland! When the ‘chips were down’ early in the morning with a hour-and-a-half’s late departure from March this was swept under the carpet when they got us an extended time in York. It was brilliant! All of your staff on that train worked so hard it made the journey a lot of fun. (Maybe not for them, ha ha ha, or should I say Ho, Ho, Ho?). Anyway, thanks a million and a Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year to you all. C & V Rush.
Many thanks for a superb day out yesterday to York. Well done all. P & R Hemming.
My partner and I travelled on the Royal Duchy last Sunday 28th August, what a fantastic experience. We were in Premier Dining and I just wanted to say thank you for everything, the food, service, the train of course totally fabulous, did not want to get off the train at the end of our day. Would absolutely recommend the experience to anybody, will try to do another trip in the future. Thanks once again for a great day. K Gladman.
Just been on ‘The Waverley’, hauled by the Flying Scotsman. Had a fantastic day from start to finish. Staff were excellent. Food and service in Premier class were both excellent. This is my third tour with RTC, all were good, but this was by far the best. Mr Davies.

However, the organisers reserve the right to alter these details at any time and shall not incur any liability to any person who has bought, or contracted to buy a ticket or tickets, as a result of any such changes. There may be occasional re-scheduling or re-routing of a train. Please note whilst every effort will be made to ensure the use of the advertised steam locomotive the organisers reserve the right to substitute a different steam locomotive on occasions should it be required, for operational reasons, which would have to be accepted, no refunds will be offered for changes to advertised locomotives.

However, we cannot accept any responsibility for delays, mishaps, alterations or curtailment of the tour from situations outside of our control. No refund or substitutions are available, other than due to cancellation by the organisers, which can happen on occasions. We will not be liable for any consequential loss you may suffer or pay any compensation to you. Please note all timings shown in the brochure are approximate and subject to change. For operational reasons the train operating company, West Coast Railways, may feel the need to run with a diesel locomotive attached to the rear as a precaution.
