The Northern Belle, famously known as ‘Britain’s poshest train,’ is making a special stop in Birmingham this December to offer an unforgettable festive journey.
Passengers can board this prestigious train from Birmingham International or Coventry stations and indulge in a luxurious trip designed to immerse you in holiday cheer. Recently named one of the world’s top five trains by readers of Condé Nast Traveller, the Northern Belle was also featured on a Channel 5 programme where the renowned actor Bill Nighy praised it as “the grand dame of luxury travel.”
From the moment guests step onto the red carpet laid out on the station platform, they are treated to an elegant experience complete with champagne and canapés, including delicate caviar blinis. Comfortably seated in plush armchairs, travelers enjoy the winter countryside rolling by as they prepare to feast.
