I just don't get this thread. Like all the fall out out at the WSR, the Ffestiniog, the Mid Hants and many more. It really is quite sad.
So what if the "Pullman" is not a Pullman? So what if the coaches are not to enthusiasts tastes? So what if a coach has been butchered with a veranda?
I attended the diesel gala and paid a few quid for my ticket and a few quid more for some breakfast. I paid nowhere near as much as the FULLY BOOKED Pullman passengers did. I really could not give a flying fig what the Pullman is named if it brings in the revenue to allow me to come back for more diesel galas.
I have used a few dining trains on preserved lines over the last few years and I have not had a bad experience and that includes a fair few MK 1 experiences. Should the Bluebell Pullman not be called a Pullman because it uses a "Stove" for storage / service and a MK1 for some customers?
Do people really - i mean REALLY believe that the loss of cash from these operations across the country is more acceptable ?
