- Synopsis:
Discover the world's most luxurious trains and re-live a bygone era, when the journey itself was the most significant part of the experience; rather than simply getting there. A journey where the passenger becomes a real traveller and is able to experience a much more gracious way of travel - in a living re-creation of the golden age of rail.
The Venice Simplon Orient ExpressThe Venice Simplon Orient Express is the most famous train in the world. This is an adventure reliving the mystique and sheer decadence of travelling in Edwardian splendour, carrying passengers across Europe in the style of a bygone era, with sumptuous cuisine and personal service which is beyond comparison.
The Northern Belle

With endless sumptuous cuisine and truly first class service, there can be few more enjoyable ways to discover Britain.
The Royal Scotsman
Explore this aristocrat of trains, which represents the very apotheosis of rail-borne lavishness. Nine carriages in imperial purple livery with open observation terraces carry just 36 passengers in the lap of luxury. We journey along some of Britain's least rail lines and through some of Scotland's most breathtaking scenery. Mountains, lochs and forests provide an ever-changing backdrop to this journey aboard the Royal Scotsman.- Actors:
