Keep on meaning to post this, thanks to my Girlfreind Emily for finding it!
HP Fan Trips has announce the limited availability of tickets for a steam train journey in the carriages used for the Hogwarts Express in the filming of the Harry Potter movies. These tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. The cost is $145 US (approx. 79 GBP) per ticket.
On July 18, the train will depart from Paddington Court Station in London in the morning for travel to Oxford in the carriages used for the Hogwarts Express in the filming of the Harry Potter movies. (Exact departure time TBD.) Clients purchasing a train only ticket (as opposed to the HP FAN TRIP) will be given a map of filming locations that they can use for a self guided walking tour of Oxford. While in Oxford they can take in pubs, shops, and the sights of Oxford. They will be given a time to return back to the Train Station in Oxford to Board the train for the journey back to London and Paddington Court Station. Return time will be in the late afternoon (exact time TBD.)
TIMING – the Journey to Oxford will be approx 2 hours and the return will be 1 hour
Infants less than 2 years – free

Its then a diesel on the way back because the engine has to get back home to Scotland before midnight.
PS Its not just the carriages, its the real engine they use in the filming too…

Is the train that leaves oxford this afternoon, the same train with just a different engine. Or is it just a normal one. Only found out about this trip this morning, too late to see it leaving Paddington, Maybe a chance to see it when it returns ?
