Britain's poshest train which greets guests with a red carpet entrance is returning to Norwich to offer a trip back in time.
The Northern Belle is coming back to the city and staff will serve passengers a seven-course lunch accompanied by a sommelier's specially selected glass of wine.
Once part of the Orient Express group, the train transports passengers back to the golden age of rail travel with 1930s-style Pullman carriages.
'The Spirit of Travel Lunch' is set to depart from Norwich 12.15pm on Friday, September 6, before travelling to Ipswich on a round trip of the British countryside.
The lunch also has the opportunity to upgrade to either a 'Laurent-Perrier Class' with a champagne reception or a further upgrade to 'Krug Class' for even more luxury.

The food includes caviar canapes, followed by an array of mains chosen with seasonal local produce to match the route, a dessert course and a cheese board before finishing the journey with Fortnum & Mason tea and petit fours.
The journey's luxury is reflected in the price with standard tickets setting passengers back £375, with 'Krug Class' tickets reaching £570.
