This is the fourth book in the very popular and highly acclaimed Pullman Profile series, which as with all the other titles, is a meticulously researched and beautifully presented work covering the famed Brighton Belle trains as well as the slightly less well known 'PUL' sets. There is much new information in this book, and it covers the rationale behind the design, build and their operation in service. Antony Ford has gone to great lengths to secure previously unseen material as well as recounting the stories from many of the regular travellers who used the service. Although this is the fourth book in the series, it will stand well on its own.
