The Britannic Explorer will enter service in July offering trips to Wales, Cornwall and the Lake District

With just a few months to go before The Britannic Explorer makes its long-awaited debut, the new luxury sleeper train’s general manager Hendrik Huebner says that the project “is very much on schedule”, which is not something that most UK rail travellers are used to hearing.
