Hertfordshire Rail Tours was a company that operated charter trains in the United Kingdom.

[4][5] The tour programme was scaled back and relaunched as the Stobart Pullman, using Direct Rail Services Class 47s and Mark 3 carriages.

[7] With the market for charter trains appearing buoyant and the company wishing to develop into more lucrative fields, FM Rail decided to re-introduce a Blue Pullman from the beginning of 2006, reminiscent of the Blue Pullman diesel multiple units that operated between London Paddington and Bristol during the 1960s.

With none of the original stock preserved, it had to provide a new fleet, which consisted of a rake of air-conditioned Mark 2 carriages fitted with Pullman style lighting, topped and tailed by Class 47 diesel locomotives.

[8] The first outing of the Blue Pullman was a dining excursion from Kings Cross and back via Ely and Peterborough on 12 January 2006.
