Belmond · Luxury train day excursion

Historic Bath

Day excursion by vintage train to Georgian Bath from London

Belmond operates this one-day excursion aboard the British Pullman, its fleet of vintage art deco carriages, running as a direct round trip between London Victoria and Bath with no coach transfer needed. The outward journey includes a three-course brunch and a welcome Bellini as the train travels into the West Country. Arriving around midday, guests have the afternoon free to explore Bath, described in the itinerary as Britain's best-preserved Georgian city, at their own pace; the operator does not include a guided tour of the city itself. Back on board, the return journey brings a champagne reception followed by a four-course British table d'hote dinner with half a bottle of wine per person. The trip suits travellers who want a full day of fine dining and vintage rail travel paired with independent time in a historic city, rather than an organized walking tour.

What to know before you look closer

  • The afternoon in Bath is unstructured free time; the operator does not include a guided tour of the city in this package.
