Service on Board
The gleaming carriages of the British Pullman, adorned in umber and cream livery, wait at the platform as stewards in their immaculate uniforms welcome you on board, the adventure begins the moment you arrive.
The Carriages
The British Pullman can carry up to 252 passengers and consists of 11 parlour cars, of which 5 are kitchen cars, plus a service car. The carriages seat between 20 and 26 passengers each.
Your steward will show you to your reserved seat in one of eleven carriages, each an original masterpiece from the 1920s or 1930s with its own name and unique personality. All accommodation aboard the train is seated at a table, identified by a carriage name and a number, for example, Cygnus 20.
Seating
Seating in the carriages is either in coupés, small compartments seating up to four people, or in the open car, mostly at tables for two.
There is a limited number of single tables and tables for three persons in the open car. Individual WCs are located at the ends of each 24 or 26 seat carriage.
Tables for two are always in high demand and a premium is often charged for these tables. Please request at time of booking.
