BLUE TRAIN - INFO AND FACILITIES

The Blue Train has a maximum of 4 suites per coach. To ensure the ultimate in hospitality, each coach has a professionally trained butler who is on call for guests in each suite to attend to their every need. The butlers are there to ensure that your journey is as memorable and comfortable as possible.

The Train Manager is also on call at all times. Guests can contact him anytime they require assistance on any matter; or when they require information pertaining to their journey.

Trained first aid personnel are on board at all times. In the event of an emergency, doctors and medical personnel can be contacted at the various stations en-route; or flown in by helicopter.

Two engineers with specialized expertise on luxury trains are always on board The Blue Train and are happy to share their knowledge with train enthusiasts.

Luggage
It is advisable to pack an overnight case for the journey as only a limited amount of luggage can be stored in your suite. Your butler will store additional baggage in the luggage van. Although great care will be taken, we recommend that you take travel insurance to cover any eventuality.

Electricity
The electric supply on board is 220 volt. Light switches are located at the door and the bed-side table.
The Blue Train on-board services include:
• A variety of delicious snacks and beverages served in the suites, on request, by butlers;
• A limited on-board laundry and valet service;
• Safes are provided in all suites for the safe keeping of your valuable belongings;
• A luggage van is available to store any additional luggage that a guest will not need during the journey.
• All these services are included in the fare.

The telephone beside each bed allows guests to dial the Train Manager, the personal butler or the butler on duty 24 hours a day. Should a guest wish to make an external call (local or international), the staff will gladly assist them in doing so at a nominal cost. Fax facilities are also available on board.
