Fascinating Facts
The British Pullman carriages were described by their originator, George Mortimer Pullman, as 'Palaces on Wheels'. His description still holds true. The original 1920s and 30s carriages have been painstakingly refurbished and are again the most sumptuous railway carriages in the world.Each of the 11 carriages has its own name, decor and history. Minerva, for example has Edwardian-type marquetry, Zena was used in the 1976 film 'Agatha', while Perseus was reserved for Royalty, visiting Heads of State and used in Winston Churchill's funeral train in 1965.
