We boarded the train 10pm Tuesday night to great excitement not knowing what to expect. Pam and Jill have a single room each and Andrea sand Paul have a room room with bunk beds. Rooms are compact but have their own toilet and in the day ab attendant turns the beds into chairs for you. We were greeted on board with a champagne reception were we also had chance to meet some of our fellow travellers (average age approximately 80 years old). The train has a bar are...
