Bassenthwaite Lake
First appearances can be deceptive with the Orient Express train at Bassenthwaite Lake station. Although in the film the driving wheels and valve gear move realistically with steam effects the 'locomotive' is actually carried on these tiny wheels. Also, the carriages were constructed wider than standard European stock so that they could accommodate the film crews, which also makes for spacious dining areas now. This venue has quickly become very popular and advance booking is recommended at any time of year.
