After the success of the Staycation Express in 2020, in 2021 Rail Charter Services operated an improved service using a classic Intercity 125 train complete with 1st class sumptuous leather seats, private tables and power points. The service ran from the 19th of July until the 9th of September, operating four times per day with the exception of Fridays at which point the train returned to Crewe for maintenance and sanitation.
