Timings are provisional and subject to network rail confirmation 7 days prior to departure.
The Northern Belle departs from stations across the Midlands and North of England, including Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Sheffield and many others. Unlike the British Pullman, which operates exclusively from London Victoria, the Northern Belle travels to its passengers, making it the premier luxury train experience for guests outside London.
The Northern Belle operates themed day trips throughout the year including classic afternoon tea journeys, fine dining lunch and dinner experiences, murder mystery events, visits to stately homes and historic venues, and seasonal departures for Christmas, Valentine's Day and other occasions. Each journey has a different departure point and destination.
Your ticket includes your seat in one of the restored 1930s Pullman carriages and a multi-course meal, either afternoon tea, lunch or dinner depending on the journey. Drinks are available to purchase on board. Some special journeys include additional experiences such as entry to a venue or event.
Smart dress is required. The Northern Belle maintains an elegant, occasion-wear atmosphere throughout. Jeans and casual clothing are not appropriate. Many guests treat a Northern Belle journey as an opportunity to dress up for a special occasion.
Both are restored 1930s-era luxury day trip trains, but they serve different regions. The British Pullman operates exclusively from London Victoria. The Northern Belle serves passengers across the Midlands and North of England with departures from multiple regional stations. If you are outside London, the Northern Belle is almost certainly the right choice.
The Northern Belle is generally more accommodating of families than trains such as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, though it is still a formal dining experience. Contact our team before booking to discuss the specific journey and its suitability for younger guests.
