The 'secret' Orient Express formed of genuine heritage cars is based in Paris and is used exclusively by SNCF French railways for its supported charites and for its own corporate use.
The Pullman Orient Express is an authentic train in the style of the genuine Orient Express. The decor, staff uniforms and cuisine are faithful to the original 1920s / 1930s trains.
Train Chartering and Deutsche Bahn worked together on what was probably the longest branded Train over the longest distance in Europe for at least 20 years.
Train Chartering was retained by a UK agency on behalf of a major multinational client. There were just 8 weeks between project briefing and the first journey.
The Train travelled through Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, France and the Balkans to Istambul in Turkey.
Branded & themed Trains are ideal for high profile marketing & PR events.

Orient Express è il nome di un treno passeggeri a lunga distanza messo in servizio dalla Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits che collegava Parigi Gare de l'Est a Istanbul. Iniziato nel 1883, il servizio si interruppe per le guerre mondiali fra 1914 e 1921 e fra 1939 e 1945, per cessare definitivamente nel 1977 a causa della concorrenza dei trasporti aerei. Oggi l'Orient-Express è un servizio quotidiano Parigi-Vienna.
Il suo percorso è cambiato molte volte, e molti di questi in passato si sono fregiati del suo nome. Il nome del treno è divenuto sinonimo di viaggio di lusso.
Il nome "Orient Express" ricorre anche per la linea ferroviaria inaugurata nel 1948 che collega Stoccolma a Bucarest, la Balt-Orient-Express.
Nel 1982 venne inaugurato il Venice-Simplon Orient Express, servizio ferroviario privato effettuato con carrozze ristrutturate degli anni '20 e anni '30, da Londra e Parigi per Venezia. Il servizio si svolge ora una volta alla settimana da marzo a novembre ed è rivolto ai turisti facoltosi, con biglietti che costano più di 1200 sterline a persona da Londra a Venezia. Vengono effettuati anche due viaggi all'anno sul percorso Parigi - Budapest - Bucarest -Istanbul, e un viaggio all'anno su quello Istanbul - Bucharest - Budapest - Venezia.

47545 departs Aintree with a return VSOE charter to London Victoria on 31st March 1984.
The train had worked up from London on a race day special and is seen here leaving the Excursion platform at Aintree heading towards Sefton Junction and ultimately Downhill CS for replenishing before its return working. The line to Fazakerley PW sidings can be seen in the background.
After an incident when the train was bricked somewhere in the Anfield area a few years later, it was decided to run the VSOE stock to Edge Hill station where the passengers were transferred by coach (luxury of course) to Aintree.

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.
The Incas created an extensive road network, covering about 25,000 - 30,000 km, in order to link their vast empire.
The Cápac Ñan or Estrada Real covered stone paths whose width held two or three people and a caravan of llamas.
There were vegetable fiber suspension bridges over rivers and steep slopes with steps and ramps.
