Luxury train taking Liverpool passengers to see spectacular fireworks on Bonfire Night

One of Britain’s most luxurious trains will transport passengers from Liverpool to see a spectacular fireworks display on Bonfire Night.

Those on board will tuck into a seven course banquet, served with champagne as they relax in the ornately decorated 1930s-style Pullman carriages. A giant vintage diesel locomotive nicknamed ‘The Bodysnatcher’ by railway enthusiasts is set to haul the Northern Belle, once part of the iconic Orient Express group.

The train will depart from Preston at 3:50pm on Saturday, November 5 before calling at Liverpool Lime Street station at 4:55pm and Manchester Victoria at 6:10pm. Once passengers are all on board, the journey will come to a stop in a secluded siding for a bird’s eye view as the fireworks are set off over the backdrop of the Irish Sea.
