In this quarter The Duke will be breaking new ground for this period in steam. The charters below are all operated by Steam Dreams Rail Company barring the last which is operated by Saphos.
All are, as usual, subject to The Duke’s availability.
| Day & Date | Charter Name | Picking Up At |
| Tues, 22 Sept 2026 | The Cornish Riviera 2026 | London Paddington to Penzance via Truro |
| Fri, 25 Sept 2026 | The Cornish Riviera 2026 | Penzance to Paddington via Truro |
| Wed, 30 September 2026 | Golden Arrow | Norwich to Canterbury |
As well as these 3 runs The Duke will be on static display in light steam at Gloucester Railway Station on Saturday, 29th August 2026 as part of the Gloucester Goes Retro 2026 Weekend.
With the mainline ban on steam locomotives as a precaution against lineside fires it is looking unlikely the The Duke will be attending this event. Should matters improve we will post details here.
Please visit our Where & When page for more details of The Duke’s running this Spring.
