Watercress Line

Watercress Belle Dining experience various dates throughout the year Relive the magic and splendour of steam hauled fine dining on board our premier steam hauled dining train. Enjoy a sumptuous five course silver service meal whilst you meander through stunning Hampshire countryside on a trip to savour. The Watercress Belle is formed of ex British Railways MK1 boat train and first class dining coaches.  These coaches were originally used on premier services such as those from London Waterloo to Southampton Docks serving ocean liners such as the Queen Mary.  Many of our steam locomotives worked these luxury services from London to the south coast over the former Southern Railway during the age of steam. The Watercress Belle operates on select Saturdays, taking you back to the time of real glamour for a truly memorable dining experience! See the website for available dates.
