Train Chartering formulates bespoke events with quality train travel and onboard catering to destinations that are relevant to our clients.

Our client for The Great Western Railway Event was Evolvi Rail Systems, which provides the internet-based self-booking tool created specifically for travel management companies.

For their annual media briefing, they required an event that used train travel with onboard dining to an interesting and relevant destination, at which they required a conference facility. The whole event was to take around 5 hours and had to leave from London on a Friday.
