Relaunch of an Orient Express train using rediscovered 1920s carriages

node

Seventeen original 1920s Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits carriages, rediscovered in 2015 and acquired in 2022, are under restoration in France for a train to be operated under the Orient Express name. Reporting from January 2026 gives the target as 2027, having previously indicated 2026. This is a declared commercial plan and a target date, not a prediction; as of August 2026 the train has not entered service.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  31. Evidence
  32. Reports that seventeen original 1920s Wagons-Lits carriages rediscovered in 2015 and acquired in 2022 are under restoration in France, with the relaunch target moved from 2026 to 2027. V55 verification basis: a January 2026 travel-trade report carried in an attributed search result; not fetched, and the target date is a commercial plan that has already slipped once.
