The Belmond British Pullman General Information.

Wardrobe Notes

Smart casual wear (but not jeans or trainers) is the order of the day except for Royal Ascot, when more formal wear is customary. For outdoor events, please wear practical clothing. "The Dinner" trips are black tie events.

Steam Hauled Trips

Where Steam Hauled trips are advertised, every effort will be made to operate using steam traction for all or part of the journey. It is possible that diesel or electric traction may have to be substituted at short notice.

A Taste For Travel

Your fare includes table d'hôte meals on the journey. Menus are liable to seasonal change. If you have any special dietary requirements, make sure to advise when booking and we will do our best to comply.

Seating

Accommodation on the train is at tables for one, two, three or four. Please note that at busy times, parties of two may be seated sharing a table for four. Tables for two are very much in demand on the train and very often, you may find that a premium is being charged for these tables.

Smoking

With apologies to smokers, Belmond operates a non smoking policy aboard its British Pullman train.

Mobile Phones

Out of consideration for your fellow passengers, please turn off mobile phones whilst in the Pullman carriages.

Insurance

Travel insurance is essential for ensuring peace of mind. You can find details of applicable insurance cover by clicking here.

Gift Vouchers

If you're seeking a very acceptable present for a special occasion, look no further. We offer gift vouchers for an actual excursion or a set amount.

Disabled Passengers

We regret that, since the carriages date from the earlier decades of the century, they cannot be boarded in wheelchairs. However, Belmond staff are available to assist any passengers to their seats and folding wheelchairs can be stored in the vestibules. Some excursions are more suitable for disabled travellers than others. Please ask for details.

Departures

All excursions are scheduled to depart from and arrive back at the stations described in the itineraries. However, on some dates, due to engineering works, the train may depart from or arrive back at a different station. At present, we are unaware of any changes, but we will advise you as soon as they are known.

Exclusive Charters

As long as there is a railway line, we can take you there. Charter the Belmond British Pullman for your own purposes. Many companies choose it for the launch of luxury products, or to celebrate success, or even say "thank you". Whether it's destination, food, itinerary or entertainment, we are yours to command. Simply state your budget.

Transfers

Nearly all excursions involve a coach journey, either to transfer you to your final destination or as part of a guided tour. Coaches will be accompanied by a guide. Wherever practicable, we will use the nearest mainline railway station to the destination. An itinerary will be provided with your booking confirmation.

Special Requests

If you are celebrating on the British Pullman, why not make your day even more special. We will be pleased to arrange any of the following, accompanied by a small card with your special message.
