The champagne's on ice, the horses are champing at the bit ... Royal Ascot is nearly upon us! And for the first time in a history spanning almost 300 years, the most prestigious event on the racing calendar is moving to York whilst its traditional Berkshire home undergoes major redevelopment.
Whether it's the fillies or the fashions that excite you, Royal Ascot is an occasion everyone should experience, and its temporary northern home gives Londoners the perfect excuse to get out of the capital and discover one of the most beautiful cities in the country. So get a group of friends together, grab a hat, and let GNER take care of the rest.
Book a Race Day Special travel package and you'll be transported to the races in style, travelling non-stop in around two hours from London King's Cross to York on board a newly refurbished Mallard train, where you’ll experience a level of service and comfort fit for royalty.
A brass band will see you on your way from King's Cross and transport arrangements from York station to the racecourse are included in the package, so there’s nothing to worry about when you get there – you can relax and soak up the Race Day spirit on board your special GNER service.
The Race Day Special trains will depart King’s Cross each morning during the races (14-18 June), so be quick to ensure you don’t miss out.
