Train Chartering is focussing more resources on arranging rail travel for large groups of schoolchildren and young people, which can otherwise pose logistical issues for the education sector.
Train travel options include:
Train Chartering is not restricted by geography - it organises rail journeys anywhere on the British railway network, throughout England, Scotland and Wales, as well as in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. International trips or itineraries in other countries are also available.
Late March, Train Chartering operated a private charter train for Felsted School, between Chelmsford and London’s Liverpool Street Station - 'The Felsted Flyer'. The School was celebrating 450 years with a service in St. Paul's Cathedral. Organizers saw the benefits of rail travel and relied on Train Chartering to provide the train for 700 pupils and staff.
Group travel planning by Train Hire has, for instance, delivered low-cost rail tickets for the Girl Guides on routes which crossed several train-operating company boundaries. Train Hire is a part of Train Chartering.
Simon Pielow, Train Chartering, says, "Trains have for many years been a favoured means of transport for school travel. Train Chartering is determined to raise awareness of its broad curriculum of rail travel options for the education sector."
