Train Chartering has since 1998 provided private train charters and carriage hires to an extraordinary range of clients. Train Chartering operates mainly in the UK, Europe and North America – though we can arrange travel almost anywhere in the world.

Train Chartering’s debt-free, asset-light, cash-positive model gives it the flexibility to react to challenges.

Private Charter Trains

We focused from the outset on private charter trains, when the term 'train chartering' was not in use, even in the rail industry; now it is a generic term.

Our extensive experience and wide contact base allows us to select the best first class or luxury trains together with a suite of on-board services, handling every detail from complex scheduling to food, entertainment and train branding.

Group Travel

Train Chartering also provides private carriages and escorted group travel. This allows us to present a rail travel solution for most events or occasions for groups of 10 to over 700.

Train Chartering organizes tailored luxury train journeys for clients. We enable you to experience the world's greatest train journeys for your luxury adventure.

Branding

We brand individual carriages to entire trains, such as the Soundwave Express, that travelled throughout Europe, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Germany and France, before ending the journey in Istanbul.

Most branding is however on a smaller scale, such as the provision of window signs or embroidered headrest covers.

Professional & Experienced

The professionalism of Train Chartering's project and guest management services is unique in the rail industry; it is rare in the passenger charter sector on whatever means of transport.

We care for every aspect of your event, from first contact through to ground handling in stations and transfers to the post-trip event.
