Description
The Britannic Explorer is Belmond’s newest luxury sleeper train—an ultra‑premium, hotel‑style rail experience that launched in the UK in July 2025. It runs multi‑night journeys from London through Cornwall, Wales, and the Lake District, offering fine dining, spa treatments, curated excursions, and beautifully designed private cabins.

Seen arriving into London Victoria on 5V00, is GBRF 66744 "Heart of Wales" leading the ECS Britannic Explorer move from Stewarts Lane T&R.S.M.D with 66748 slowly following up behind on 0V01. We get shots of the outside of the Britannic but I'll post some pictures of the inside later on, but for now, we enjoy some static shots of the Britannic. Eventually, 1Z75 departs London Victoria with GBRF 66748 "St Michael's Mount" leading the set with 744 in tow at the rear on route to Bishops Lydread Gbrf before venturing to the WSR!

Hope you enjoy the video!!! 🙏
