The wonderful Brighton Belle, the only electric all-Pullman train in the world, succeeded the steam service between London and Brighton in 1933 and became the world's first electric inter-city train. A much loved railway icon, the three five-car train sets were withdrawn by BR in 1972.

  • RCHS Chronology of Modern Transport in the British Isles 1945
    RCHS Chronology of Modern Transport in the British Isles 1945–2015 Introduction This chronology is intended to set out some of the more significant events in the recent history of transport and communication, with particular reference to public transport, in the British Isles since the end of 1944. It cannot hope to cover the closure or opening of every branch railway or canal, the sale of every bus company, nor the coming and going of every pertinent office holder. The hope is that it does contain details of the principal legislative and organisational changes affecting transport – in particular the shifts between private and public ownership which have characterised the industry within this period – together with some notable ‘firsts’, ‘lasts’ and other significant events, especially those which exhibit trends. A very few overseas events are included (in italics), either because they had a British relationship, or for comparative purposes. Conventions Dates are, where appropriate, the first or last occasion on which an ordinary member of the public could make full use of the facility: official and partial openings on different dates are in general confined to parentheses; and ‘closed with effect from’ (wef) dates are quoted only where the actual last day of service has not been certainly established. Dates assigned to statutes are those of assent unless stated otherwise. ‘First’, ‘last’ or similar qualifiers mean ‘in Britain’ unless otherwise indicated. ‘Commercial’ is used, rather loosely, as a qualifier to exclude experimental, enthusiast, heritage, leisure or similar operations. Forms of name are those in use at the date of the event.

    PULLMAN CAR SERVICES The Quality of Service is Remembered Long after the Price is Forgotten SPECIAL EDITION No.9 1966 - 2016 British Rail Mk 2 Pullman Cars. ©J.Salmon - PCS-Archive. The Manchester Pullman arriving at Euston. Pullman Car Services-Archive - Special Edition No.9 1966 - 2016 British Rail Mk2 Pullman Cars - Issue 1 - March 2016 Page 1 of 36 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the final build of Pullman car within the United Kingdom. As part of the 25kv electrification of British Railways London Midland Region the British Railways Board ordered a total of 172 new integrally-constructed main line locomotive hauled carriages. In late 1963 the planning for the West Coast Pullman services began with the involvement of the London Midland Region, the Pullman Division of British Transport Hotels and the British Railways Board, the meetings continued during 1964. The order for twenty nine all first class new designed Pullman cars which would form four new Pullman car sets, to be delivered in late 1965 or early 1966, with spares, this was placed on November 11th 1964 with BR Derby works. The construction of the twenty nine cars was scheduled within BR Derby works during 1965, and would make two eight-car sets for the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly service and two four-car sets for the London Euston to Liverpool lime Street service. The locomotive-hauled cars featured interior design detail similar to that of the diesel "Blue Pullmans", but will have the new BR standard Mark II integral coach bodies. The ‘Manchester Pullman’ service will be an all-Pullman train, whilst the ‘Liverpool Pullman’ will be a Pullman service within an otherwise orthodox express.
