Lots of wibble, and livery frothing going on, but look forward to it passing.
In case anyone hasn't heard, the tours for 2021 have been announced and include some lines in thee west Highlands, Kyle of Localsh. Here's the website: https://midlandpullman.com/
What do you mean moved to their new site? This is the site for the Midland Pullman operated tours. https://inter-city.co.uk/ for their intercity tours and https://www.statesmanrail.com/trips-tours/ for the statesman trips.Sadly keeping well away from any pick ups in Yorkshire and the North East. A subsidiary/associate of Statesman Rail who had the 14th November trip on their site earlier today - now been moved to the new site.
I've seen the pictures of the outside and I think it looks fantastic - I like the 'MIDLAND PULLMAN' font and the livery. I was never around when the original Pullman was there.

It's getting very confusing today. They seem to have launched 3 separate sites for different train sets. The Inter-City special site says
"We are pleased to offer unmissable bargain priced day tours in First Class comfort on our modern high speed air conditioned inter-city train, hauled by celebrity Class 90 electric locomotives to various destinations for a sightseeing break."
Ah yes, it is a bit confusing.The first Midland Pullman trip was advertised on the Statesman site. The Midland Pullman site is a fairly new site.
I'd say when they repainted them into IC SwallowI'm not sure when their Class 90s because 'celebrity' locomotives!

Celebrity locomotives to enthusiasts then. I agree it's pushing it a bit, though.Really not sure that makes them 'celebrity' - Flying Scotsman or Tornado are celebrity locomoties, not a class 90 which those without an interest in railways wouldn't give a second glance to.
Sorry, just found them.
The photos are embargoed until the set is ready and released from Eastleigh.Any news or pictures of the refurb
Thanks for that. AppreciatedThe photos are embargoed until the set is ready and released from Eastleigh.

I see the Manchester - Crewe ECS runs fast line to Sydney Bridge Junction, then takes the Independent Lines.
That might get a bit messy, as there's no connection off the Fast Lines there (nor has been for 15 years or so).
Maybe the ECS schedules will be updated in due course to show a different route.I see the Manchester - Crewe ECS runs fast line to Sydney Bridge Junction, then takes the Independent Lines.
