To mark this rare outing on an ex-GWR branchline for the Railmotor, where such trains once operated, Mortons and the C&PRR are offering readers the chance of a seat in the compartment behind the engine on every train.
These tickets are available for the eight-mile round trip from Chinnor to Princes Risborough, which includes a two-mile climb of 1-in-68.
