Diesel Mileage Weekend
Why should steam fans get all the fun? Say goodbye to 2026 and get some miles in with an intensive weekend timetable starring the GCR diesel home fleet - all included within our standard fares.
Make the most of a full weekend of heritage diesel traction with our Diesel Mileage Weekend, giving you the chance to enjoy extensive running behind our diesel home fleet locomotives across Britain’s only preserved double-track main line.
Across the weekend, expect to see English Electric and Sulzer locomotives, shuttle services to Rothley and an intensive timetable- the last chance to end 2026 with a dedicated weekend of diesel action!
