Take a step back in time this weekend by travelling on the ‘time-warp’ trip on the Watlington Donkey steam train tomorrow. (25/9)
Once a bustling train service in the 1940s and 50s, its now open for one day to take an unusual ‘time-warp’ trip on the Chinnor-Princes Risborough line on the Heritage railway.
The unique coach – known as an auto-trailer - once trundled between Watlington and Princes Risborough stopping at halts and stations along the line. Built over 90 years ago, it was a feature on the line for over 30 years until services ended in 1957.
The Watlington Flyer coach will depart from Chinnor at regular intervals for the 50-minute return journey to Princes Risborough on Saturday September 25., For the trip back in time the auto-trailer will be pushed and pulled by a Great Western Railways pannier tank steam locomotive (no. 6412).
The timetable and details of how to book are online at www.chinnorrailway.co.uk
For general enquiries, call 07979 055366. The line is open daily from 10am-4pm..
