In Ireland all railways are a different gauge to the UK so we will be using the carriages that belong to the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland. These are different to those on charter trains used in the UK with more basic seating* and décor but also a very Irish ambience - including the only railway bar in the world with draught Guinness. The hotels on this trip are of the highest calibre featuring some of the best 3, 4 and 5 Star hotels ever involved in a Steam Dreams tour (for non-Dining, Premier Dining and Pullman Style Dining passengers respectively). What’s Included: • Carefully chosen, quality hotel accommodation • Breakfast in your hotel each morning for passengers in all classes • Pullman Style and Premier Dining passengers will be served a 3 or 4 Course Dinner in their hotels • On days spent on the train, complimentary teas and coffees will be served to all passengers • Pullman Style and Premier Dining passengers will be served a lunchtime meal on all train days in Ireland *
The seating is narrower than in the dining carriages normally used on The Cathedrals Express day trips.
