100 YEARS AGO DECEMBER 1920
Pullman cars on display
On Monday, November 8, the first two Pullman cars built for service on the Great Eastern Railway were placed on public exhibition at Liverpool Street Station, and some hundreds of people took the opportunity of inspecting these palatial vehicles.
Ten of the 20 cars are being constructed at the works of Clayton Wagons Limited, at Lincoln. The two cars so far delivered - the Arcadia and the Corsair - commenced duty on Armistice Day on the following trains: the former leaves Cambridge for Liverpool Street at 7.49 a.m., returning on the 6.30 p.m. down train; the other car makes a number of trips between Southend, Liverpool Street and Clacton.
