Rail Travel

The breathtaking views of the countryside and villages combined with comfortable accommodations make rail travel an enjoyable and memorable experience.  Because most train stations are located in the heart of town, travel by rail is also a very convenient mode of transportation.  Travel by train is now a deluxe way to vacation with many trains offering sleeper cars, dining cars and auto trains (an easy way to transport both yourself and your vehicle).  

For your convenience, Travelers Fare, Inc. handles both domestic and international train travel.  Some of the major international rail stations include Birmingham New Street, Charing Cross, Edinburgh Waverly, Euston, Gatwick Airport, Glasgow Central, King’s Cross, Leeds, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Manchester Piccadilly, Paddington, Victoria, and Waterloo. 

Some of the major domestic rail stations include Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Denver, Boston, New Orleans, and San Antonio.  For more information on traveling via train view the following information or feel free to contact one of our Travel Professionals.  

Arrive early.  It is usually recommended to arrive at the station at least 30 minutes before your train is scheduled to depart.

Once you check your bags you won't have access to them so be sure to pack everything you need to have with you in a smaller suitcase and bring it with you on board.

Be prepared to capture the countryside with your camera (load your camera with high speed film) or video recorder.

Bring an extra sweater or sweatshirt as some lounge cars are kept extra cool for comfort.

Some cities have more than one train station - be sure to check what station you are departing from/arriving at.

If you are bringing extra cargo (such as a bicycle) they may have to be paid for and reserved in advance on the train.  Check with your travel agent for specific details.
