North East passengers will have the chance to travel in style throughout 2023 on a train claimed to be Britain's most luxurious.
The Northern Belle will be making journeys that stop off at Newcastle, Darlington and Durham, some of which come with a seven-course tasting menu prepared by chef Matthew Green and accompanied by champagne. There's also a champagne afternoon tea for those who want a quintessential British rail experience.
But it's not just about the food and drink, musicians will be moving through the train's 1930s Pullman-style carriages, while there's also a resident magician performing. Each carriage is individually decorated with tapestries and mosaics, and have previously been hauled by steam locomotives such as the Flying Scotsman.
