The name refers to luxury trains of the 20th century, and was chosen presumably because the birch-covered embankment to the left marks the course of a former railway - one which I'm sure never saw a Pullman train, and probably not even a passenger train, as it was a freight branch to the Farnley Ironworks. See https://westleedsdispatch.com/marks-history-reminders-of-past-in-new-wortley-housing-estate/ for a photo before the housing development showing the old bridge abutments.
