London-based subsidiary of the Pullman's Palace Car Company established in 1882 by George M. Pullman.
Pullman began operating in Britain in 1873, signing an operating contract with the Midland Railway and forming the Car Syndicate, Ltd. with the English subscribers to raise capital for car operation to be carried out by the Pullman European Car Association-also known as Pullman Palace-Car Company (Europe). In 1882, complicated business relationships led Pullman to buy out his associates and form the Pullman Company Limited, a subsidiary controlled from Chicago. After Pullman died in 1897, interest in European operations waned and control of the British subsidiary passed to British financier Davison Dalziel in 1906.
