THE BATH SPA CHRISTMAS EXPRESS - UK Railtours

[RobShipway]

Would I be correct in thinking that the Bath Spa Christmas Express after leaving Ascot on the 1st December would be heading through Reading and not stopping to travel to Bath?

Where can I find more information about the Bath Spa Christmass Express? I've never heard of it, to be honest. Sounds like a great idea. Pardon my ignorance but is it something recent?

The graceful city of Bath is a wonderful place to visit at any time of year, but never more so than in the festive tide. Bath Christmas Market sees the centre of Bath transformed into a magical Christmas paradise as over 170 chalets packed full of individual Christmas gifts line the streets surrounding the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey. etc etc etc

Done the bath markets a couple of times before. Just a tip for anyone whose thinking of going. Either arrive very early, or don't drive as parking can be an absolute nightmare!

Coming in to Bristol on the 1608 Bath Spa to Gt Malvern I was surprised to see a steam loco in the sidings on the left just before Feeder Bridge Jc. It was dark and I couldn't catch the no. Now I see what it was. Thanks.

You are referring to Thurs 1st December - just checking because there was another run from Victoria to Bristol last Saturday (10th) worked by 34046 Braunton (masquerading as 34052).
