Golden Eagle Luxury Trains, the leading operator of luxury rail tours by private train, introduced five new voyages of a lifetime for 2018. One of them is 14-day Best of Britain Steam Tour, the first of its kind for the premier railway operator.
Kicking off in October 2018, the 2,200-mile trip is timed with the 10th anniversary of the Tornado, the first steam locomotive in over 50 years to break 100 mph on British tracks, and one of the most revered in the country (it hauled Prince Charles aboard the Royal Sleeper train back in 2012).
