    Questions about this journey

    What time does the train leave and get back?

    The British Pullman leaves London Kings Cross at about 08:30 and is due back at about 21:00. Timings are approximate and can change at short notice because the train runs on the national rail network.

    Which meals are included?

    Fine dining is served on board, including dinner on the return with English fizz, coffee and petits fours. The operator does not detail the outbound meal for this journey.

    What should I wear?

    Smart dress is expected: please leave denim, trainers, baseball caps, collarless T-shirts and shorts at home. Jackets and ties are not compulsory, but on the British Pullman you can never be overdressed.

    When does this journey run, and what does it cost?

    This journey runs on selected dates only, and fares depend on the departure and the table you choose. Live dates and fares are shown on this page, and our reservations team can help on (866) 484-7882.

    Is there a guided tour in York?

    No, the time in York is free for sightseeing and shopping at your own pace. The compact city centre is easy to explore on foot.

    Can the station change?

    Occasionally engineering works mean the train uses a nearby station with a coach transfer into York. Our team will confirm the arrangements for your date.
