    Did you digitally remove the handrails on the viaduct or are they no longer there?

    I didn't know Carnforth had any Pullmans. What can anyone tell me about them?

    Metro Camell Pullmans that are seen out and about regularly. Not 'proper' Pullmans as on the Bluebell and with Belmond. (Other locations are available. There is a nice set at Petworth in West Sussex, for example:

    The (former VCT) carriage survey lists the following 1960 Metro Camell built BR Pullmans at Carnforth , essentially a variety of the `Mk1 vehicle.
    Some coaches (347 - 354) were formerly the Pullman set operated by SLOA / Past Time Rail from 1981. In the past some carried the standard West Coast maroon paint scheme.

    Thank you. I've had a few rides in Vintage Trains' Pullmans which are of the same kind. Nicer than ordinary coaches but nowhere near as nice as the 'proper' ones.

    They’re still there - just distance makes them less obvious. One photographer was removed though!
