Around 300 passengers have paid up to £1,000 each to travel to the Cheltenham Gold Cup on the 13th March 2026.

Passengers will board from London Paddington on Friday morning, with a caviar brunch being served during the journey, as well as a five-course dinner on the way home.

The train will be hauled by West Coast Railways diesel locomotives throughout.

“Who says there’s a financial crisis  – we sold out in record time and could have sold twice as many tickets.

“We’ve been running the train for several years, but we’ve never had such a response before.”
