To Build on the momentum for rail holidays, the company has teamed up with some of the world’s top rail suppliers to launch the UK’s first-ever dedicated travel agent rail event.

The Rail-ly Big Event takes place at the Swindon Steam Museum on Wednesday 23 April between 6pm and 10pm.

It will provide agents with an opportunity to network with the world’s best rail providers.

These include Belmond, Eurostar, Rocky Mountaineer, GoldenPass Express, Bernina Express, Glacier Express, Die Zentralbahn, Maharajas Express, Jungfrau Railways, Rovos Rail, Caledonian Sleeper and Gornergrat Railway, as well as Travel Switzerland and Lake Lucerne Navigation.

Agents will also enjoy training sessions with food and drink, plus there will be prizes up for grabs.

Following the successful introduction of our first stand-alone rail brochure, we felt that the time was right to launch a dedicated event to educate agents and help them feel confident about recommending a rail holiday to their customers.”
