Edinburgh locals will be able to spot red carpets across Waverley station soon as one of the world's poshest trains comes to the capital.

The so-called “zombie” train will be coming to the city on July 15 and will give people a chance to experience a journey on the Northern Belle, which was once part of the iconic Orient Express Group.
