Ever since Agatha Christie’s classic detective tale Murder on the Orient Express hit the screens with Albert Finney as Hercule Poirot, the Pullman has attained cult status. With their chugging locomotive engines, lovingly restored carriages, period style furnishings, elegant bars and restaurants and viewing cars resplendent with well-stocked libraries, the Pullman is a symbol of high class gentility. Yet even in the hustle bustle of the digital age today’s travellers can still experience a little bit of 1920s glamour.
