FROM REELS TO RAILS

-

Train-loving fans of filmmaker Wes Anderson can now put themselves in the picture aboard Belmond’s British Pullman (belmond.com), which traverses the English countrysid­e on culinary-focused day trips out of London. Anderson was commission­ed to redesign the train’s 1950s-era Cygnus dining car and the results are as distinctiv­e as his movies — think silver-leaf detailing, gorgeous greens and pastel pinks, and gleaming art nouveau marquetry. Trips are priced from US$545 per person; for an even more exclusive experience, the carriage features two private suites that can be booked from US$2,455 for up to four people, including unlimited bubbly served from swan-shaped champagne coolers.
