What can you expect from your Railtrail holiday?
Relaxing, nostalgic & environmentally
friendly
Travelling by plane or car generally means that the first
and last days of your holiday involve stress. Not so a rail
holiday. Sit back, relax and enjoy the view. Travelling by
train is also usually a sociable experience as well as an
environmentally friendly one. And don’t forget that the
train was the original transporter of holidaymakers
in the golden days of yore.
Escorted
For UK tours our Tour Manager will meet you en
route to your destination or at the destination
station. We have a small team of experienced,
knowledgeable and caring Tour Managers,
whose job it is to escort your holiday, leaving
you to relax and enjoy the experience.
Knowledge and Value
Every Railtrail tour has been thoroughly researched by
our well-travelled team. We select all our hotels for their
location, quality of service and facilities combined with
the warmth of their welcome, style and character. Every
tour in this brochure includes at least breakfast and dinner
every day of your stay at the hotel. Every excursion
mentioned in the tour highlights is included in the tour
fare too, although we do leave some time for your own
individual sightseeing, which means that there are no
hidden extras.
Extra Benefits Rewarding your Loyalty
The vast majority of our customers are either repeat
bookings or recommendations. Recognising this, Railtrail
is the only rail holiday company with a Loyalty Rewards
Scheme. For every pound spent you will receive Loyalty
Rewards Points on return from your holiday, which can
then be used as a discount on future tour bookings. And
should you recommend Railtrail to someone not already
on our database, then when they travel on their first tour
your Railtrail Rewards Loyalty account will also be credited
with the same number of points they receive.
A note about Luggage
We do include hotel porterage whenever we can, however
carrying luggage is the customer’s responsibility, including
on to or off a train (unless stated otherwise in the tour
itinerary). We would recommend a modest sized suitcase
with wheels and a retractable handle and a small piece of
hand baggage per person.
Our New Concierge Luggage Service
Did you know that it is possible to arrange to
have your luggage collected in advance from your
home and delivered to your UK or European tour
hotel, leaving you free to enjoy your holiday
by train even more? Using Railtrail’s luggage
service allows you to travel light on the first
and last days of your holiday. And this special
concierge service costs from as little as £85 per
case return. Contact us for further details.

your mainstay hotel. For tours featuring two or more
mainstay hotels, your luggage will be delivered to the first
hotel and collected from the last hotel.
