Experience of a lifetime

From start to finish a fabulous experience. Staff all extremely polite, helpful and friendly.
I have dietary restrictions but the effort by every member of staff to allow me to have food served on board was incredible and I thank everyone so much.
The trip gave train spotters a wonderful photo experience and stations we passed made onlookers smile seeing such a splendid train.
A wonderful gift from our son one to highly recommend to anyone looking for something different to do.
