Needless to say I was thoroughly looking forward to the day. S & I were togged fitting the occasion and travelled 1st class to Victoria where we would pick up the OE.
At Victoria there was a special check-in area, where the attendant told us which carriage we'd be seated and where complimentary tea was supplied (in a plastic cup!!!). There was also a member of staff that was willing to take pictures. However a professional photographer might have been nice - would have been willing to pay....and we made our way to the train.
We were allocated to the Perseus carriage where Bob our attendant made us very welcome. The table was set nicely for dinner and it began to feel special. As champagne was served we got to know the others in the carriage. As the train departed, outside the window I was brought back to reality and back to today seeing the graffiti and ugly buildings.
As dinner was served the mystery unfolded and we got a chance to interrogate the suspects. Dinner exceeded my expectations. It was truly 1st class - all five courses of it!
We never won the carriage prize for solving the who done it, but we had great fun trying.
