Murder on the Orient Express Tea Room.
We gave up our jobs to convert the steam train used for filming Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express movie... into a Lake District tearoom
In early 2019, Bassenthwaite Lake Station in Cumbria was in ruins and Di and Simon Parums (bottom left and bottom right) were working regular nine to five jobs in health and safety. Fast forward two years and the pair have given up their jobs, having almost entirely restored the station to its former glory - and there's a rather large piece of Hollywood movie memorabilia sitting on the tracks, previously covered in mud, leaves and weeds. That piece of movie memorabilia is the prop French SNCF steam train - complete with engine, tender, restaurant car, baggage carriage and salon with bar - purpose-built for the filming of 2017 Hollywood blockbuster movie Murder on the Orient Express, which was directed by and starred Kenneth Branagh, and also featured Penelope Cruz, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Dame Judi Dench. It's now the centrepiece of a new railway-inspired tourist attraction offering tearooms, nature walks and private hire event space. And Di and Si are the proud founders of the whole thing.
