It is certainly one I'd like to do at some point in the future.

My parents did it when they emigrated in the 70's. First class, the glass roof viewing cart.. Great trip they said.

The Mallard, the epitome of optimism and modernity. And a nice shade of blue as well.

I only saw it once, in about 1958, its number was 60022 and it was green.
