Belmond British Pullman - Service on Board.
Introduction
The gleaming carriages of the British Pullman adorned in umber and cream livery wait as stewards, in their immaculate uniforms, welcome you on board the train.
Your steward will show you to your reserved seat in one of eleven carriages, each an original masterpiece from the 1920's or 1930's with their own name and unique personality.
The British Pullman can carry up to 252 passengers and consists of 11 parlour cars, of which 5 are kitchen cars, and a service car. The carriages seat between 20 and 26 passengers in each.
All accommodation aboard the train is seated at a table. The Pullman carriages and seats are identified by a carriage name and a number, for example, Cygnus 20.

There is a limited number of single tables and of tables for three persons in the open car. Individual WC's are located at the ends of each 24 or 26 seat carriage.
