The Watercress Belle steam-hauled dining train at the Watercress Line, Hampshire, UK

Evening dining train service for Saturday dinner

Mid-Hants Railway, Hampshire's premier steam railway, wanders for some ten miles through the heart of what was famous watercress country. The Railway acquired the nickname 'Watercress Line' when transport of that crop by train to all parts of the Country was a routine feature of daily life in the area. The Watercress Belle is a first class train of former boat train stock on which a leisurely five-course dinner is served during two round trips (approximately forty miles) of the line. Its maximum capacity is 72 diners. A fully staffed train requires some twenty-three volunteers prepared, simply for the love of their Railway, to devote their Saturday evening to making your visit a real pleasure. Do join us: it will be our pleasure to serve you. The Watercress Belle is available for private hire, maximum 72 seats. Let us know your requirements.      The Watercress Line, The Railway Station, Alresford, Hampshire, England, SO24 9JG   Tel No:  01962 733810            Fax No:  01962 735448 reservations@watercressline.co.uk   Photo: Henry O'Dwyer
