Belmond British Pullman carriage plans
Experience the world-class luxury train style in one day on the British Pullman, sister train to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, with a wealth of journeys from which to choose, starting from and returning to London as well as other favourite cities and towns in Great Britain. Imagine the delight of receiving one of these journeys as a gift. Step aboard and be taken back to the heyday of great train travel.
The Belmond British Pullman takes its name from an American, George Mortimer Pullman, who built The Pioneer in 1864, the first railway carriage designed with true comfort for the passenger. The later creation of the Pullman Car Company in 1882 led to his domination of luxury train travel in the US and later, Great Britain. The British Pullman has carried Royalty and Heads of State around Great Britain.
The Belmond British Pullman forms part of the route (in the UK) of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, the world's most famous train. Being the sister train to the Venice Simplon Orient-Express lunch and other dining is a very special experience. Most journeys are behind diesel engines; there are some steam trains. The Belmond British Pullman is a worthy inheritor of the classic 'Orient Express' in the UK.
