In early 2021, it came to light that two former London & South Western Railway (LSWR) dining saloons, that had been languishing at a heritage railway in South Wales for many years, were in imminent danger of being broken up if a new home for them could not be found. The significance of these railway carriages is that they are the sole survivors of the exact type that formed the Boat Trains that ferried passengers from Waterloo to Southampton, for boarding Titanic on the morning of April the 10th 1912.
The Titanic Boat Train Heritage Trust (TBTHT) has been set up, by a partnership between the British Titanic Society and the LSWR Carriage Group, forming a talented team of historians and experienced craftsmen to take this huge project forward.
