This year marks the 40th anniversary since the end of regular steam train travel in the southern region but there has been a recent resurgence of interest.

Cathedrals Express, an operator of day trips by steam train, is running more than 30 trips this year giving passengers the chance to experience the sights, sounds and smells of a steam train puffing across the country.

The locomotives,some dating back to the early 20s, visit more than 30 towns and cities such as Bath, Chichester and Stratford-upon-Avon.

All trips leave from central London but it is also possible to join the train at stations such as Clapham Junction, Woking, Bromley and Stevenage.

All trips offer the chance to spend time shopping or sight- seeing at the destination before rejoining for the return journey.

Passengers in Premier Dining can have a champagne brunch on the outward journey and a three-course meal on the return.

In First Class passengers are seated in compartments for six and have a glass of champagne and orange juice on boarding.

In Standard Class there are tables for four with a buffet car to buy snacks and drinks.

To win all you have to do is to answer the question below.
