Our group of 24 older ladies planned a luxury day out on the Northern Belle, but it turned into chaos and disappointment. After waiting over two hours, the train didn't stop at Wrexham. About 40 passengers were left without explanation, and the representative left the station before the train arrived. With the office closed on Saturdays, we had no means of getting updates. Some abandoned the trip, while others made their way to Chester at their own expense. Those who boarded did not receive the advertised experience; the carriages lacked heating and lighting, meals were rushed and lukewarm, and the planned visit was drastically shortened. What should have been a celebratory occasion turned into a frustrating ordeal. The service offered was unacceptable for the price paid.

The train service was launched in 2000, after careful restoration by Venice-Simplon Orient Express.
