Friday Evening Dinner Service

Return to Restaurant Car Services

Friday Evenings 27th July 2008, 26th September 2008, 28th November 2008

It's 1952 and the evening mail train should be hurtling through the Leicestershire countryside, but tonight it has been halted by one thing...MURDER!

A body lies on the platform and five local dignitaries protest their innocence, but one of them is lying. Bullets fly, sordid secrets unfold and no-one is quite who they seem as this pleasant journey takes a turn for the worse.

Join us for a night of suspects, secrets and suspense.

The murderer will escape justice if you don’t work out ‘whodunit’ before 10.45pm, when the train returns to Loughborough.

Served aboard our 7:30 pm departure from Loughborough selected Fridays. Please arrive at Loughborough for 7:00pm

Your five course dinner is served aboard our First Class Restaurant Cars as one of our historic main line steam locomotives takes you on a leisurely journey through the Leicestershire countryside.

The train departs from Loughborough Central at 7.30 p.m., returning at 10.45 p.m.

Your meal is served during the journey and there will be an interlude at the delightfully atmospheric Rothley station complete with original Edwardian gas lights.
