Golden Arrow: Pullman Profile No 5

This is the latest volume in Antony Ford’s acclaimed ‘Pullman Profile’ series. Recognised as the standard work on the Pullman cars operated on Britain’s railway in the 20th century.

This new volume considers the cars that made up the formations of what was probably the Southern Railway/Southern Region’s most prestigious service, the Golden Arrow connecting London and Paris.

The Golden Arrow had a long innings originating in the 1920s and lingering into the 1970s before disappearing from the timetables forever.

The book provides individual vehicle histories, interior and exterior views, plans and train make-up details as well as photographs of the complete trains and the clientele who used them in the era covered.
