Trainspotters are to be treated in the next few weeks as a historic train is set to steam through Wiltshire.
The Belmond British Pullman is set to travel from London to Bath and return on October 19.
It is set to depart London Victoria at 09.40 and arrive back at the capital at 19.45.
A restored set of Pullman coaches from the 1920s will be out on the main line and travelling through various places such as Warminster, Bradford-Upon-Avon and Westbury.
The steam locomotive that will be hauling the train has yet to be confirmed. However, this could be in the form of Merchant Navy Class 35028 Clan Line which is owned by the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society and is the mainstay of the Belmond British Pullman trains.
For the lucky people who have booked a seat on the train, they will get to experience a three-course meal or a five-course meal depending on what trip they have booked.
As part of the trip, passengers will have the option to visit the Longleat Estate, near Warminster. On arrival at Westbury station, they can expect to be met by a guide who will accompany them onto a coach straight to the tourist attraction.
The package also includes admission to Longleat Safari Park.
Timings are set to be announced in due course.
