London CNN — Britain, birthplace of rail transport, will get its first ever luxury sleeper train touring England and Wales next summer. In the Dining Car, which will have bespoke afternoon tea, lunch and dinner menus for each route, “each plate will reflect Britain’s diverse landscapes,” says Rogan, a leader in Britain’s farm-to-fork movement. The Britannic Explorer features renovated carriages that were first used as Intercity Rail Mark 3 carriages from the 1970s and the train pays homage to Britain’s legacy as pioneers in train travel. As for the journeys beyond the train carriages, the route offers international visitors a chance to explore the variety of cities, towns and landscapes beyond the familiar sites of London and Britain’s other main attractions.
