Excursion Info: Back in the 1930s and 40s the rich and famous, including Hollywood legends, rock stars, aristocrats and even royalty would sip cocktails all dressed up in their finery, as they wallowed in the luxury of the legendary Bournemouth Belle, the last and most famous of Britain’s great Pullman trains.
Many were on their way to catch giant ocean-going liners to America from Southampton. Others were just heading off to “take the air” on the South Coast beaches. But all were determined to reach their destination with the utmost panache.
And now it is your turn with this tribute special excusion.
For to mark the 90th anniversary of the Bournemouth Belle’s very first trip from London on July 5, 1931, we are planning to recreate all the style of that glamorous journey with the Northern Belle’s umber-and-cream painted Pullman-style carriages.
You will be welcomed aboard over a red carpet by a liveried steward before being handed a glass of champagne while you sink back into the armchair by your neatly laid-out table, ready for brunch lovingly prepared by our onboard chef Matthew Green.
