History

The Harrogate Pullman was introduced into service by the London and North Eastern Railway and began operating in 1923 between London King’s Cross and Newcastle, via Harrogate and Ripon.^[1]

It comprised 12 new specially-built Pullman cars costing £70,000 (equivalent to £5,040,000 in 2023)^[2] for the service.^[3] The supplement to travel on the service was 10s 1st class (equivalent to £36.02 in 2023)^[2] and 6s 3rd class^[4] (equivalent to £21.61 in 2023).^[2]

In 1928 it was renamed the West Riding Pullman^[5] which in 1935 became the Yorkshire Pullman.
