It’s not really my kind of thing, but I’m willing to give it ago as it seems to involve champagne and 5 course meals! Anyone have any experience of this kind of trip?

I loved it - the seats are comfy, the service impeccable, the food and drink good and we were steam hauled by Flying Scotsman before it went to York to be refurbished (We'll just forget about Flying Scotsman breaking down and having to be rescued by a diesel!)
