Train Chartering has also arranged a private charter train service with a tailored timetable between Glasgow and London's Waterloo Station for 680 passengers to meet connecting Eurostar services. There is a second charter train for the return journey.

Special services arranged by Train Chartering include guest management at stations, concourse welcome desks, tailored catering & (through Transport Charter) complex transfers for various VIP parties.
