Train Chartering has recently operated private carriages and escorted group rail travel for clients such as Nando's and JCDecaux, with catering by Pret A Manger. Private carriages, whether in First or Standard Class, provide cost-effective and memorable incentive travel.

Train Chartering offers private carriages / rail cars in both 1st (First) and 2nd (Standard) Class on UK and mainland European trains, including Eurostar and other high-speed international services.

Groups are escorted by Train Chartering's stewards who liaise with station staff and train crew. Train Chartering organises meeting and greeting facilities at stations as well as catering, branding, onboard meeting & entertainment options.

In addition, Train Chartering (with its Transport Charter subsidiary) provides rail event planning at destination such as transfers and venues, being in a perfect position to manage the transition between train and final destination.

Train Chartering's Simon Pielow knows why group travel in private carriages is growing in popularity, "Private carriages are ideal for smaller groups for which a complete chartered train is inappropriate. We still offer our project and guest management services as well as catering and entertainment."

Train Chartering is the pioneer of a coordinated approach to sourcing, theming and crewing special trains and carriages for a variety of corporate and leisure applications. This full service approach is enhanced by comprehensive guest management, including ground handling & transfer services.
