About
British Pullman
A day aboard Britain’s restored Pullman carriages
British Pullman is a collection of twelve individually restored carriages from the 1920s and 1930s. From London Victoria, they operate destination-led day trips, seasonal lunches, afternoon teas and evening dining journeys. There are no sleeping cabins and no single standard interior: each carriage has its own history, decoration and seating arrangement. The experience is built around reserved seating, formal table service and the character of the carriage itself.

the experience
Twelve carriages, each with its own history
Marquetry, polished brass, period upholstery and original fittings differ from one carriage to the next. Guests are seated at reserved tables or in armchairs, with the menu and style of service determined by the chosen departure. Some journeys include several hours in a destination; others remain aboard throughout and return to London after lunch, afternoon tea or dinner.
THE JOURNEYS
Day journeys from London Victoria
The calendar includes visits to Bath, Oxford, Canterbury, country houses, gardens and selected sporting events, alongside circular journeys where the train itself is the destination. Programmes change throughout the year, and departure times, dress guidance and the balance between time aboard and time at the destination vary considerably.

Marbury can arrange hotels, flights and transfers around the rail journey, whether that means arriving the night before departure, spending a few additional days at the final destination or continuing elsewhere as part of a longer itinerary.
