I saw Hannah and Claire, Karen and Dave, Rebecca and Madeline yesterday, though I did not travel with them. Who or what are they, and why are they relevant on a transport forum?

Pullman coaches comes to mind.
Oriental Express ones on a UK▸ (United Kingdom) run somewhere?

Then again, possibly camping coaches, but there's five of them, and usually there's only one or two together.

Close - but no bulls eye. And there are six of them rather than five.

Might this have something to connect it with the Midland Blue Pullman I wonder.
