British Pullman
The British Pullman train epitomises everything that was great about the 1920’s and 30’s and can make you feel as though you are actually reliving that era. The train is made up of 11 authentic carriages and each of them has been expertly refurbished so that you can experience the fabulous glamour of vintage rail travel.
The British Pullman train is a one of a kind due to all of the unique flourishes, such as veneered panels, comfy armchairs and tables set with linen, silver, crystal and blush-pink lamps. The cuisine on the British Pullman is simply superb. Yet, arguably the greatest part of experiencing a trip on this iconic train is the scenery. On your trip to your chosen sporting event and destination, admire the exquisite British countryside and see; castles, stately homes, cathedrals and other remarkable landmarks. Treasure the stunning views of the British countryside on your journey aboard the British Pullman.
Northern Belle
Like its sister train, the Northern Belle is designed to take you back to the glamorous time of the 1920’s and 30’s. Based on the 1930’s “Belle” trains, which is where the Northern Belle acquired its name, the carriages are fabulous inside and out. The train is hand painted and sign written on the exterior. The interior is second to none, being furnished by a local designer, with all fabrics handmade by local seamstresses.
Aboard the Northern Belle is a team of engineers, housekeepers, train managers, chefs and kitchen assistants who will work towards making your experience one to treasure for the rest of your life. The Executive Head Chef and their team take pride in the seasonal menus and work extremely hard to make your meal one of the best you have ever tasted. Just like the British Pullman, the routes that the Northern Belle travels on are filled with beautiful scenery.
