GWR Manor is to return to The this Christmas time.

The Manor returns for the 2022 season to haul the 5-mile long line’s Santa Specials.

7822 Foxcote Manor made the same trip in 2021 to haul Christmas trains at the line, which runs from Shackerstone to Shenton.

The Manor appears at the Battlefield Line thanks to its owning group, the Foxcote Manor Society.
