Questions Regarding Orient Express

[sfvoyager]

I have read all 21 threads on the Orient Express, but could not get clarity on the following four questions:

 

1. I read that the bags are transferred from the train to the Terminal. Does this mean, we would need to arrange for the bags to be transferred from the terminal to the stateroom?

 

2. Does anyone have any pictures of the actual train?

 

3. Any comments about the food served on the service from Victoria Station to Southampton?

 

4. How long is the actual journey on the train?

1. No - you hand your bags over to the train staff and the next time you see them they are in your cabin.

 

2. See here: http://www.orient-express.com/web/bp/bp_c3a_onboard.jsp

 

3. See here: http://www.orient-express.com/web/bp/bp_c3b_dining.jsp - normally the standard is very good.

 

4. It depends on other train traffic but generally it's about 2½ hours.

 

Enjoy!:)

I have a few photos of the train I took when I was on in 2003 that I can send on if you are interested. You can reach me at retinagrl@netscape.net
