What happened when Francis Bourgeois joined the Northern Belle?

Francis Bourgeois, the social media sensation and railway enthusiast, experienced his first journey aboard the Northern Belle luxury train, enjoying our seven-course Christmas lunch. Leaving London Victoria on Monday 19th December, the train made its way through the home counties offering some spectacular scenic views. Highlights of the day were the gifts that Francis decided to wear and of course hopping on the footplate of the vintage Class 57 Loco. Francis kindly shared his experience with millions of social media followers. Watch what happens in the the link below.
