But that’s nothing to how they will look like post-refurb. Even in their dilapidated state, they radiated a bygone, supremely glamorous era. Its revived carriages include sleeping, lounge and restaurant cars. The new trains are due to start running from Paris to Istanbul in 2025, nearly 40 years after the classic Orient Express stopped services in 1977. Having rediscovered them in a Polish railyard, a luxury travel firm has unveiled plans to relaunch 17 original carriages in 2025 as the Nostalgie-Istanbul-Orient-Express. To the glee of vintage train fans around the world, earlier this year it was announced that several carriages from the original Orient Express were being refurbished and brought back to life.
