January 16, 2006 - Train Chartering suggests the re-launched and re-liveried Blue Pullman dining Train for hire to private and corporate clients for travel based on tailored timetables and routes throughout the UK.

The Blue Pullman is an air-conditioned, First Class dining Train. Each of the eight carriages has 42 seats, with headrest covers, tables with cloths, flowers & lamp. The Train has an intercity-quality ride & travels at up to 100mph.

Onboard choices include fine dining, steward-served and chef-prepared from fresh ingredients in onboard kitchens. A comprehensive bar is available. Other catering possibilities include lighter meals, buffet/trolley services and hampers.

There are also branding & theming options as well as full ground handling from Train Chartering. Station management is vital for effective management of large groups, an area in which Train Chartering is expert.

The name 'Blue Pullman' derives from a premium service that finally ceased in 1973. Over the years, routes had included London to Wales, the Midlands and Manchester. Passengers paid a supplement for dining on the First Class trains.

Simon Pielow, MD of Train Chartering, comments, "With the Blue Pullman, Train Chartering merges the ultimate in nostalgic rail journeys with the excellent customer service that the modern era expects, but which is all too often lacking in travel."
