Oxford (Steam)
Your Journey
Detailed information
“The City of Dreaming Spires” is dominated by the University colleges, the most famous being Christ Church, Trinity, and Balliol all within easy walking distance of each other. Don't miss the Bodleian Library, which has its own shop, and the nearby Radcliffe Camera, although not open to the public, is well worth a view from the outside.

Enjoy a delicious brunch with Bucks Fizz aboard the British Pullman en route for Oxford. On arrival you will be met by guides who will accompany you on a coach/walking tour with visits to some colleges. You will also have some free time to explore on your own. Rejoin the British Pullman for your return journey. A glass of chilled champagne is served as soon as you board the train followed by a four course supper accompanied by half a bottle of wine.

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.
