WCR - 2026

[SwindonManor]

Jacobite - New Year release (planning a trip)
Scarborough Spa, Dalesman etc. "released later in the year"

Can anyone tell me how good/bad WCR is?
I've heard mixed, but mainly good things. (But, there have been bans of WCR in the past due to them being operationally rubbish)
What's the riding experience?

Mixed, but this is somewhat justified by them often being cheaper than other operators.

My most recent experiences have been positive.

They are cheap to be fair! VT Shakespeare has dropped to under £30 pp for standard - wowsers!

The Jacobite experience can be very disappointing as can be related to reports on this forum, air conditioned stock being the main bug bear.

I've heard that, but that's due to the modern coaches apparently, but so long as they aren't mega dirty, isn't bad
