A Pullman coach, luxury and first class travel, the Rolls Royce rolling stock of the then British Railways. Not many can match it's quality today.

The Pullman carriage, I would think, formed part of the British part of the Orient-Express. In April 1998 my wife and I had a weeks holiday on what was called the 3 Superlative Travel ( British Orient-Express ,London- Southampton(cruise terminal), 5 day cruise on the "Oriana" and Concorde flight back from Lisbon to Heathrow. The Pullman Carriage was named "Audrey" as were all the other carriages named separately. I'm sure that today's British Pullman that you see advertised use the same carriages.
