It made the journey from London to Manchester in a record 3 hours 15 minutes; the best time between the two cities immediately prior to this had been 3 hours 50 minutes. The Midland Pullman ran every weekday, up to London in the morning and down to Manchester in the evening. It had two kitchens, and a full meal service was provided at every seat. Commentators praised the speed and smoothness of the journey and the luxury of the trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe service was withdrawn in 1966 and replaced by the electric-locomotive-hauled Manchester Pullman running from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston via the newly electrified West Coast Main Line, with a much-reduced journey time of 2 hours 30 minutes, which marked the end of the Midland line as a direct route for Manchester-London traffic. The two units were eventually transferred to the Western Region to work alongside the similar Western Pullman units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"gm-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC Ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"gm-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-Car Midland Pullman Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive bound history of the Midland Pullman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pack of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e36-420 \u003c\/span\u003eMidland Pullman Stewards and Train Crew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectible reproduction Menu card from the original service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine Art Print of the Midland Pullman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"data-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eCLASS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e251\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eLIVERY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003eWestern Pullman\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003ePAINT FINISH\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003ePristine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57246997741948,"sku":"30-426SF","price":475.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2978\/5040\/files\/30-426SF_20251014132816_4573298_Qty1_1.jpg?v=1785839168","url":"https:\/\/www.modelrailwaysolutions.co.uk\/products\/bachmann-30-426-midland-pullman-6-car-demu-train-pack-oo-gauge-copy-1","provider":"Model Railway Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
