On top of their histories, these carriages, with their prominent art-deco designs and stunning collection of inlaid wood panels, offer those who travel within them a truly unique and authentic experience: enjoying the truly 'Golden Age' of rail travel.

Experience the 'Best of British', with day trips visiting historic Bath and Canterbury, elegant Sandringham, and the verdant surrounds of Longleat and its iconic stately home.
