Warrington Guardian reports that the luxury train The Northern Bell ('fares for the trips start at £305') will make its way to Scarborough.
Britain's most luxurious train will call at Warrington next month - to take people on a day trip to Paradise.
The Northern Belle – seven 1930s-style Pullman carriages hauled by a vintage diesel locomotive – is heading for Scarborough.
And there in the Yorkshire seaside resort is a little street that is simply called “Paradise”.
It runs up to 12th century St Marys Church where novelist Anne Brontë was buried. (Gareth Dunning)
We are sure that most people walking to Anne's grave have remarked on the name of that street.

Newsweek analyzes data from Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and IMDb to rank Michael Fassbender’s 15 best movies on his birthday.
7. Jane Eyre (2011). Total score: 74.78%.
Directed by: Cary Joji Fukunaga. Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell, Holliday Grainger, Sally Hawkins.
Plot summary: A mousy governess who softens the heart of her employer soon discovers that he's hiding a terrible secret.
What the critics said: "The film builds to a shattering climax that works precisely because all involved fully embrace the melodrama. Be sure to bring Kleenex." Keith Uhlich, Time Out.
FOCUS FEATURES (David Sim)
The Telegraph discusses (humorously) some people's addiction to getting married.
Liz Taylor divorced Nicky Hilton after 205 days of wedlock, but Cage filed for annulment a mere four days after his fourth wedding ceremony to makeup artist Erika Koike, In fairness, the omens didn’t look good: observers said Cage was saying, “She is going to take all my money!”, even as he applied for a marriage license at a Las Vegas courthouse.
Some commentators have viewed the wedding as another sign of Cage’s legendary quirkiness (a pair of otters witnessed his first wedding and he once embarked on a hallucinogenic trip with his cat after it ate some of his magic mushrooms). But I’d say the compulsion to marry – and marry again – is actually indicative of a deeply embedded romanticism. It takes a Brontë-esque chap in the age of alimony to keep committing to the institution of matrimony. (Rowan Pelling)
Authorlink Writers and Readers Magazine describes The Lost History of Dreams by Kris Waldherr as  a 'captivating debut novel in the gothic tradition of Wuthering Heights and The Thirteenth Tale.' Le Figaro (France) is reminded of Wide Sargasso Sea when artist Ellen Gallagher speaks of the exhibition  Le modèle noir, de Géricault à Matisse at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. Luccia Gray discusses what we know about Jane Eyre's mother. AnneBrontë.org has a post on 'Virginia Woolf’s Journey To Haworth, 1904'. On The Sisters' Room, Maddalena De Leo posts about Chalotte Brontë's recently-found manuscript in her mother's copy of The Remains of  Henry Kirke White.
