EDITORS COMMENTS
For those lucky enough to afford foreign travel immediately after the war, the Southern Railway revived its most prestigious boat train, the Golden Arrow Pullman, on April 15,1946. This print captures a moment in time at London Victoria station around that period. The magnificent Bulleid West Country class No. 21C134 Honiton stands gracefully on the platform, simmering with anticipation as it awaits departure for Folkestone or Dover. As steam gently billows from its engine and young spotters patiently admire this symbol of luxury and elegance, one can almost feel the excitement in the air. The Golden Arrow train was not just a mode of transport; it represented an era of sophistication and refinement. Step inside one of its opulent Pullman carriages and be transported back to the glamorous 1950s. With plush interiors adorned with fine woodwork and sumptuous upholstery, these carriages were a haven of comfort for discerning travelers embarking on their journeys across Europe. This evocative image is a testament to an age when travel was not merely about reaching your destination but also about indulging in an experience like no other. It reminds us that even amidst post-war hardships, there were moments of respite where people could escape into a world of elegance and charm. Preserved by Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of how transportation has evolved over time while capturing the essence of an era defined by grandeur.
