Great Value Train Travel
ABOUT US
In 2019, we welcomed the first of our Paragon fleet into passenger service. As part of a £60 million investment, the state-of-the-art Hitachi trains brought vast improvements to travel replacing our old fleet. Journeys are smoother and greener with 20% more seats available. 2021 was a landmark year and saw us celebrate our 21st anniversary.
Our dedicated team, both onboard and behind the scenes, has been the key to our success for over two decades. From train drivers and on-board staff to our office team, everyone is committed to providing exceptional journeys by focusing on the details that make a difference.
