Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie charter entire Virgin train as Harry Potter treat
Published: 17th Aug 2011 09:44:07

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie chartered an entire train to take their brood up to Scotland from their current base in London.
Brangelina spent thousands of pounds chartering the Virgin Pendolino for their trip from Euston to Glasgow, where Brad is set to shoot scenes for his new film World War Z.
The couple took nine-year-old Maddox, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, five-year-old Shiloh and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne on the journey as a special treat.
"Angelina took all the children to see the latest Harry Potter film recently, and they couldn't stop talking about the Hogwarts Express afterwards," an insider told the Mirror.
"They're used to travelling first-class on planes, but the children rarely travel on a train. They absolutely loved it, running up and down the carriages excitedly and peering out of the windows at the passing scenery," the source added.
Fans waiting for their arrival at Glasgow Central station were left disappointed when Brad's stunt double caused a diversion, reportedly allowing the star and his family to exit unnoticed through a back door.
