caption_attribution_description: English: The Brighton Belle passing Purley Oaks at speed in June 1964. The all-Pullman train was still very much in her prime.
context_page_description: Pullman trains in Great Britain were mainline luxury railway services that operated with first-class coaches and a steward service, provided by the British Pullman Car Company from 1874 until 1962, and then by British Rail from 1962 until 1972. Many named mainline service trains have subsequently used the word 'Pullman' in their titles, but most of these have been normal trains with increased first-class accommodation. Since 1982 however, some railtours have been operated by companies using Pullman coaches dating from the 1920s to 1950s to recreate the ambience of the heyday of Pullman travel.
