Your Journey
Detailed information
Enjoy a delicious three course lunch, accompanied by half a bottle of wine, on your journey to the traditional English seaside town of Folkestone. On arrival you will have some free time (approximately 45 minutes) to stretch your legs. The famous mile long cliff-top promenade demonstrates how the Edwardian elegance of the town lives on. On your return journey afternoon tea will be served with a glass of chilled champagne.

Please note: The return journey to London may be delayed as the train also carries passengers returning from the continent. Passengers should bear this in mind when making plans for the evening or onward connections.

Rail News & Updates
 
The Orient-Express
The British Pullman takes its name from George Mortimer Pullman, an American, who in 1864 built The Pioneer, 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 Britain from that time onwards.
