19 May 2018 London to Edinburgh – make your way to London Kings Cross Station to board your Cathedrals Express heritage rail journey to Edinburgh. You will leave London’s Kings Cross in the morning hauled by a vintage diesel for a quick run up the East Coast Main Line to York. You then set off by steam on the scenic route past the distant Yorkshire Moors, steam high over the city of Durham and its beautiful Cathedral and on to views of the Angel of the North before crossing high above the River Tyne in Newcastle.

If anything, further North the scenery is even better as we enjoy views of the sea and pretty Northumbrian towns and villages as we approach and cross the Royal Border Bridge at Berwick. The run down into Edinburgh winds along the Scottish cliffs before the journey finishes with views of the distant Firth of Forth before emerging into the heart of the capital in Edinburgh Waverley station.
