2026 visitors travelled to Rail LIVE by passenger train from London Paddington

For the first time since 2019, visitors to Rail LIVE 2026 were able to travel directly into the heart of the show at Porterbrook’s Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre by train! 

With no transfers, and no complicated connections, the dedicated high-speed charter will gave visitors a seamless, stress-free journey directly from London Paddington Station, calling at Reading Station, to the UK’s largest rail exhibition. 

Visitors travelled on an iconic High Speed Train (HST) owned by Romic Group and capable of 125mph - a true legend of Britain’s railways.

And what made 2026 even more special? It marked the 50th anniversary of the High Speed Train. There could not have been a more fitting year to operate this exclusive charter.
