Brighton Belle update

I've been fortunate enough to receive corporate hospitality at Twickenham for a couple of Six Nations games. You get about 4 hours of hospitality, including a free bar, 3-course meal, hot snacks at half time and after the match, talks from ex-England players and seats for the match in the stadium. The tickets cost around £1600 per person. I've also done a trip to Bath (and back) on the Belmond British Pullman, which was awesome. I think Celia is priced about right.

 

From Belmond:

Introducing Celia, the British Pullman’s newest carriage
Introducing Celia, a new carriage designed by Baz Luhrman and Catherine Martin

And from CambriaJunction:

 

Belmond have revealed Celia's new saloon. Obviously (and inevitably) a far greater departure from her past inside, had much even survived of her old interior?

Donald Trump called and said he wouldn't mind a trip, but only if they could dial back a bit on the decor ...

My comments on the makeover were rejected from the Brighton Belle Facebook page.
Perhaps the reference to a Love Island wedding reception were too much? I dunno.
I can understand why Belmond were reticent to release photos of that interior.
Whatever happened to "less is more"?

 

Well that answers a question I raised elsewhere about the interior. Surprisingly tame given Luhrman is involved.

 

I think it looks great but I'm not convinced it looks very comfortable
