Wes Anderson’s unique way of looking at the world is now on a new track. Anderson’s recent projects include a stop to transform a historic carriage for Belmond’s British Pullman into a movie-worthy backdrop for visitors and tourists alike. The Cygnus car has been reconfigured to showcase the director’s rare perspective, complete with custom-made chairs in green and ceilings in bubblegum pink. Named after the Greek God of Balance, the car has a bold style, evident at every silvery turn. Everything falls in line with a certain and to-be-expected art deco flair, which would certainly set the mood on the path through the bucolic Paysage-like English countryside. Along the way dinner is served, a multi-course menu. Yes, the plates are handpicked by Anderson. Cygnus first took to the rails in 1951 as a First Class parlor car for the Golden Arrow. It even had the role of serving in Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral train. It chugged on for decades until retiring to France where it was sent to get a facelift. Belmond Management Limited Belmond Management Limited Belmond Management Limited The newest version of the train is set to pull out of the station for the first time in England on October 13th. One can enjoy the ambiance in either a private coupe or an open car. Wes Anderson’s signature style has left a mark on public consciousness through films like the Moonrise Kingdom, The Darjeeling Limited, and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Anderson reflected on his love of trains when accepting the gig: “I love trains! I have often had the chance to invent train compartments and carriages in my movies, so I was immediately pleased to say ‘yes’ to this real-life opportunity,” Anderson reportedly stated. He continued on, “very eager to make something new” as the team will “[keep] something special alive, igniting this endangered specials of travel into a new golden era.” In other words, Anderson is hitting us where it hurts, in the nostalgia feels. Belmond Management Limited Belmond Management Limited Belmond Management Limited Belmond Management Limited The big debut falls just a few weeks short of Anderson’s October 22nd premier of a new film, The French Dispatch. Surely there is a link between the 1950s style of the carriage and the symmetrical work, art nouveau detail, and surreal color schemes typical of his style. The car will run with options for open seating and private booths. The carriage can be booked for a private run for groups of up to 26. The royal treatment kicks off with private check-in and VIP boarding at Victoria Station in London. On the menu, one will spot Veuve Clicquot, cocktails, and fancier wines. Anderson personally selected the wine glasses, too. Those who book the coupe option will also take advantage of a private tour led by the Train Manager and a special gift (two champagne glasses). There are a few routes that one can book to hop on: London to Cardiff, Bath, and the South of England, for example. There are also recreational programs in which one may partake, including Christmas and Agatha Christie-themed trips. Pullman Dining by Wes Anderson runs about $546 (£400) per person. The Pullman Coupe by Wes Anderson costs $2,457 (£1,800) per coupe.
