Pullman cars

A Friends of Thomas the Tank Engine weekend with consequentially no Golden Arrow Pullman dining train running gives the Bluebell's C&W department the opportunity to give their Pullman cars a good going over. Seen here behind the carriage works at Horsted Keynes, "Lilian" is the current guise for all steel 1929 Parlour 3rd Car 76. The Bluebell Railway named this car in honour of the wife of its President, Bernard Holden MBE. photograph by Colin Duff

It is not often a coach enthusiast gets "up close and personal" with the parts of a coach not normally seen, but thanks to a specially arranged tour around the carriage works during an SEmG outing on 20 June 2003 the photographer was able to capture details of this car's end. Note that the fittings are the same as for non-Pullman stock, though the "Pullman Gangway" only became a standard fitting on other stock in British Railways' days. photograph by Colin Duff
