Steam Leaflets for 2018

World War I Centenary & Somme Steam Gala

FOCUS ON STEAM WITH RAILTRAIL TOURS

5 DAYS

Enjoy a great steam gala at the unique and historic WW1 Somme line at Froissy, a day exploring the scenic Baie de Somme line and a day commemorating those who fell in the Battle of the Somme almost a hundred years after the end of the war. Fittingly, our final visit is to the replica of the Armistice Carriage at Compiègne, a railway carriage in which the German surrender was made.
