Le Concept de Steam Dream Rail Co.

The company was born in 1999. Since then, it has welcomed more than 19,000 passengers on more than 50 trips each year. Based in London, it offers a day trip to explore the most beautiful landscapes and English cities, while also enjoying a ride on an amazing engine. The latter was built in 1948 in Glasgow by the North British Locomotive Company. With the number 61306, it is one of the last two B1 classes. In September 1967, the engine, nicknamed the ‘Mayflower’, underwent its last voyage into service before being recalled for safety and fully restored. Since 2019, it has been in full service on the main track of the Steam Dreams Rail, offering a second life that will amaze young and old alike.
