I Seen this being transported on the m.way today 23.5.24 it looks absolutely stunning

This really isa fantastic train. We travelled between Sheffield and Bath in December 22. The breakfast was the same (i'm not a black pudding man either but I tried theirs and it was divine!) but we were treat to a delicious five Christmas dinner on the journey back. My initial thoughts were that this is one of those bucket list items you have to do once in your life. However, ;ke many of the other passengers you leave thinking about how you can travel on it again sometime in the future.

Absolutely Loved it mate! I am going on the Settle to Carlisle Pullman on April 18th! Pullman Dining! Going alone. It is gonna cost me a whopping £455! But I will love it! Thanks for the amazing Vid

Outstanding, I need to take my old mum on one. One available for me Newcastle to Bath Christmas Market. She'd love it.

Go for it!

I'd like to travel on that. I saw two Western Pullmans in about 1965 (I'm ancient) and used to drive 159s from Salisbury to Paignton before the route was taken away from us in 2009.

2024 tickets have been released now, deffo worth it!

Aside from rail charter companies, the only train operators with HSTs are GWR and scotrail

I remember travelling on the Blue Pullman when I was a child. No idea it was still running.

It's not - this is a fake: HST sets made to look like the original Blue Pullman's of the 1960's. Mind you, the originals had a reputation for bad riding - the HST sets probably give a much more comfortable ride. At £395 for a day in Pullman Dining they'd need to!

Amount of Dirty looks you were getting tho while recording🤣

Thanks!! It’s a great trip

I hope you had good time not been able to ride I the coaches but I do drive the trains. I drove on this day did I do a good job

I like the glass dividers between seating areas as anyone will agree who has suffered a 'big gob' close by.

And that's a train I would love to travel on... one day someday. It looks amazing.

HAHA!! I know what you mean, but I guess it depends on the trips, but it may outprice others

The chap putting his feet up in the staff room buffet car was that second driver or on board maintenance engineer ?

Would it not have been easier for LSL to have bought just the EMT/ EMR powercars and then GWR First Class Mk3s

They did, the coaches were never ex EMR/EMT

The Mk3's are not GWR? Would it not be more cost effective to just use GWR mk3's?

@carloallen5295

They are Ex-GWR MK3 stock. I think he was referring to the power cars being hooked up with Ex-EMR stock

I was expecting some information on booking and what the trip cost

I don’t think I talk about it, unless I do on the return. It cost me £350 each plus a surcharge to get the single table 👍🏻

The HSTs Are Doing An Amazing Job On The Midland Pullman 👍

@HertsLondonBusVideosOfficial

They only have 1 HST. (Including the 2 power cars)

the Midland Pullman - Class 43 HST in TSW would be awesome

You can with livery editor 😊 well apart from the intricate design on the front

The coaches were never part of EMR. They were ex GWR coaches.

Standards of travel have declined so much on everyday trains regarding interiors of carriages seat formation, lighting and especially dining that this train seems very special now. A fantastic job done on restoring the HST set back to the original seat formation and providing a dining experience of yesteryear (not too long ago actually) Great and successful business idea from the Midland Pulman echoing the Manchester Central service.

Hello from two months in the future. I've seen 43046, 055 and 059. They're all in this livery. 43049 was Swallow until quite recently, now it's MP Blue. 43058 is still in Staycation Express green/silver I think

Do Pullman trains turn into Pushman trains when they travel the opposite direction?
