Nottingham railway station has welcomed many distinguished visitors over the years.  Today was no exception when 250 passengers arrived from Kings Cross on the Northern Belle.  Evoking the  golden age of travel, these visitors to todays Ashes match have travelled in style.  Dylan Mellor, one of the stewards on the train spoke about working on the train.

“We set off from Kings Cross at 7am this morning.  Passengers were served a three course breakfast, and will get a four course dinner on the way back this evening”.

The staff on the train won’t get a lot of time to explore Nottingham, as Laura, another steward explained “We have to get everything cleaned and ready for the return trip at 7pm.  I hope to get a couple of hours to explore Nottingham, but that will be all.”
