LUXURY steam train Northern Belle pulled into Bournemouth railway station yesterday to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the inaugural run to London. The original Bournemouth Belle Express first started operating on July 5, 1931, between the town and London Victoria. Around 250 passengers embarked on the journey which pulled into Bournemouth Railway Station at 12.50pm yesterday before departing once again at 5.55pm. Tickets for the trip cost £399 per person and included a three-course brunch on the outbound journey followed by a five-course dinner on the way home. Despite the fact the trip once cost six shillings, or thirty pence in today’s money, passengers believed the fee was good value for money.
