The Blue Train gets another observation car

This means that the second set, with this addition, now includes the expansive view from the wide panels at the back of train - one of the very picturesque experiences that draw many to The Blue Train.

The new observation car can also be converted into a conference room for business meetings and events. For this, leather padded chairs with The Blue Train insignia carved on the top of the back wooden frame, along with birch solid-wood tables are made available. This conference room set up is complete with plug points, audio-visual set up, that includes a projector and screen.

Speaking on this new addition, Vincent Monyake, executive manager of The Blue Train said, “Our guests and clients spoke, and we listened. We are pleased that our second train set is updated and guests on either train will have The Blue Train’s quintessential viewing experience, complete with the wide-angle viewing at the end of the train. Travelling through South Africa’s sweeping landscapes takes a different form with the majestic view from the observation car, and the ability to make that available for business meetings and conferences makes for a truly memorable experience aboard the Blue Jewel. We look forward to hosting many more incredible charter functions, fabulous trips and fantastic business gatherings."

The new observation car which is already running also features a boutique shop selling The Blue Train mementos.
