Is the pullman car Malaga still next to this track?
Good morning,
Yes Malaga is still there on a very short bit of track, it was used I think, as a board room or dining room for the Ian Allen company, who had travel and rail interests, however I think they sold their travel agent side in the past year or so. The travel shop has gone now, not sure about the business travel which was located in another building near by. I am not sure who owns Malaga.
It looks to be in very good condition as it is protected from the weather by the adjacent buildings and a canopy over head and was only repainted a year or so ago. It would be good if it could be bought back into passenger service when things ever get better, either as an extra carriage for the VSOE/Belmon British Pullman or the Brighton Belle which is being rebuilt, or failing either of those, maybe as another dining car on the likes of the Mid Hants, Bluebell or KESR for example. It has 12 wheels rather than the usual 8. I don't know when it was built and what routes it used to be in service on?
