The Southern Railway Board introduced the all Pullman Bournemouth Belle service between London - Waterloo and Southampton in 1931. The train was loaded initially with seven to ten Pullmans, depending on the saeson, however during the later days of the service, this number could be as many as twelve! With the changing times brought on by electrification the Bournemouth Belle service ceased in 1967, with the train by tat time being pulled by a diesel locomotive.
This train pack is representative of the Bournemouth Belle as it ran in the late 1940's.
