The Fellsman on the Settle & Carlisle Railway
While now part of Locomotive Services Limited, Statesman Rail will continue to operate independently. Working with existing train operating company West Coast Railways and using the same rolling stock that has delighted passengers for years.
Bookings for services in 2017 have now opened and include five spectacular steam hauled journeys of the iconic Fellsman over the soon to be reopened Settle and Carlisle railway, along with nine other trains scheduled to run throughout 2017.
