Our inclusive rail fares mean that, should you miss your specified train or a connecting train, your ticket is still valid on the next service. All we ask is that you telephone either the office during office hours, or your Tour Manager outside of office hours, to let us know of any hiccup in your journey and we will then take control leaving you free to relax and enjoy the remainder of your journey. Railtrail Rewards Loyalty Once you have travelled with Railtrail, we reward your loyalty via our Loyalty Points Scheme. For every pound spent you will receive Loyalty Points on return from your holiday, which can then be used as a discount on future bookings. Loyalty Points remain valid for 3 years after your return from your holiday. The more Loyalty Points you earn, the greater the discount you will receive on your next tour. No other escorted rail holiday company offers such a scheme. Furthermore, should you recommend Railtrail to someone not already on our system, YOUR Railtrail account will be credited with Loyalty Points when they travel on their first tour. Points will be credited to the value of £25 per person booked if it was a UK Tour, £50 per person booked if it was a European / Classic Plus Tour, or £100 per person booked if they travelled on a Worldwide Tour.
