The rebuilt sleeper coaches contain
the most spacious train suites in the world, offering every
modern convenience and comfort. The epitome of luxury, with
handsome wood panelling and period Edwardian features, the
air-conditioned suites accommodate two people offering the
option of twin or spacious double beds. All are equipped
with a writing surface and, for valuables, a personal safe.
There is also a bar fridge filled with beverages of the
passengers’ choice and room service is available 24 hours a
day. In the en suite bathrooms original fittings combine
with the modern technology of hot showers, hair dryers and
shaver plugs.
Royal Suite
The Royal Suites, each of which take
up half a carriage, are spacious and elegant, measuring 16
sq metres in size (172 sq ft). Each has its own private
lounge area and full bathroom with Victorian bath and
separate shower.
Deluxe
Suite
The Deluxe suites (11 sq metres/118 sq
feet) also accommodate two passengers in either twin or
double beds and have a lounge area and en-suite bathroom
with shower.
Pullman
Suite
A
third level of accommodation, the Pullman suite is 7 square metres (76 sq ft) in size and while it includes the
identical bathroom to that of the deluxe suites, the bedroom
is smaller with a one up one down bunk for twin requirements
or a double bed for couples. During the day this can be
converted into a comfortable couch.
