Rather than struggle through the traffic, we gave our passengers the treat of a leisurely ride by steam train on the Nene Valley Railway (pictured below) for the final leg of the journey.

Back in Berkshire on July 1st, Two Rivers Travel was at Windsor Castle to witness the changing of the guard outside the famous royal residence.

The onset of British Summer Time made the early start even earlier, but fortunately our loyal passengers were all waiting at their pick-up points and ready to enjoy the delights of the awakening English countryside.

As the morning light became brighter we stopped to serve tea and biscuits and at last, peeping through the clouds, came the first sunrise of British Summer Time. Only one thing was missing – the dawn chorus!

We were made very welcome at our breakfast stop at the Hilltop Cafe in Firsdown, with Winchester Farmer’s Market our final stop before heading home.

Here’s the Two Rivers Travel coach at Froxfield, Wiltshire as British Summer Time begins.
