This spring, passengers will be able to enjoy a slap-up, seven-course meal on board one of the world's most luxurious trains when it stops off in Greater Manchester.
Railway enthusiasts and food lovers are in for a treat as the Northern Belle, a 1930s Pullman-style train, makes it's first-ever red carpet visit to Rochdale on Friday, 21 April. Passengers will pay between £295 and £570 for the experience, which includes a champagne arrival drink and gourmet meal, accompanied by live entertainment.
After departing Rochdale, The Northern Belle will stop off at Hebden Bridge and Brighouse, before weaving its way around the Yorkshire countryside for five hours, as passengers tuck into a champagne afternoon tea or seven-course Spirit of Travel lunch. Adding to the experience, guests will be entertained by strolling musicians and the train's resident magician.
