GBRf Charity Railtours has announced that their 4-day charity railtour will return for 2020.

From 24 September to 27 September 2020 the operator will be raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.

The GBRf train will visit different parts of the UK network, running on some unusual routes and being hauled by GBRf’s more unusual locomotives.

More details will be announced in February before a full announcement of the tours in March 2020.

What did the officials say?

Commenting on the decision to organise the Charity Railtour, GBRf Managing Director John Smith said:

“After GBRf 2018, the team behind these trains took some time to reflect and opted against doing another. Then, following the sudden passing of our colleague Des and the diagnosis of Paul Taylor with prostate cancer, the team decided it was time to return the tours in aid of Prostate Cancer UK, which is also our charity of choice for our company-wide fundraising efforts.

“We are absolutely delighted to be returning these incredibly popular tours and we will be hoping to raise even more money than before for Prostate Cancer UK because for us, this issue is personal.”
