    PULLMAN CAR SERVICES The Quality of Service is Remembered Long after the Price is Forgotten SPECIAL EDITION No.11 Pullman Car Services-Archive - Special Edition No.11 Stobart Pullman - Issue 1 - November 2017 Page 1 of 19 The Stobart Pullman was a rail tour operator in the United Kingdom, operating Pullman type charter trains, as Stobart Rail Tours. The company was a subsidiary of Eddie Stobart Ltd. and was operated by Stobart’s rail partner, Direct Rail Services (DRS). The Stobart Pullman had its origins in the August 2007 reverse takeover of Eddie Stobart Group by Westbury, which brought the Westbury rail company Victa Westlink Rail into the Stobart Group. Victa Westlink had the rail tour company Hertfordshire Rail Tours as a subsidiary. This tour company was rationalised and relaunched as the Stobart Pullman on February 12th, 2008, although using rolling stock and traction provided by DRS. The Pullman was launched with a lunchtime service for 200 people, the Wessex Circular, departing from London Victoria, travelling to Fareham, and returning to London at Euston. This service was run as a top and tailed train, powered by locomotives 47802 Pride of Cumbria and 47712 Pride of Carlisle in DRS compass livery, and a Stobart Pullman headboard. ©Brad Joyce.

  • Preserved Coaching Stock of British Railways
    PRESERVED COACHING STOCK OF BRITISH RAILWAYS AMENDMENT SHEET NUMBER 88 February 2007 MYSTERIOUS CARRIAGES!!! Many thanks to those who responded further to the appeal in the last ‘Amendment Sheet’ for further information regarding BR Mark 1 CK 15961 and to Doug in particular for the clue that lead to the entry below. Progress has also been made regarding GWR Hawksworth BTKs 2148 (DW150403 and 2218 (DW150400) . It has now been established that these did indeed move to the Enterprise Weaving Company during the second half of 2001, being observed there in December of that year. What has become of them subsequently remains a mystery, now the top ‘serious mystery’. Apparently a chap called Mike whom has Severn Valley Railway, Enterprise Weaving Company and narrow boat interests holds the key to this mystery. At the time of compiling these notes the mystery Mike has not been traced but if any recipient of these sheets can locate and make contact with him that would be greatly appreciated. Do they survive elsewhere or where they scrapped?
