British Travel Awards 2025 – Silver Award!

Eleanor Howard • 16 December 2025

We are incredibly proud to share that we have received the Silver Award in the Best Travel Company for Rail Holidays category at the British Travel Awards 2025.



This recognition means a great deal to us - not only because the British Travel Awards is the largest and most respected consumer travel awards programme in the UK, but also because it is entirely voted for by the public. To everyone who supported us, thank you. Your votes have helped us achieve this wonderful result.



Established in 1997, we have spent more than 27 years creating unforgettable rail-themed holidays across the UK, Europe and worldwide. From steam-hauled day trips to scenic long-distance railway adventures, we remain committed to offering carefully crafted journeys that stay with you long after the holiday ends.



Commenting on this year’s success, our MD Kelly Osborne said:

“We’re delighted to receive this award. It reflects the hard work of our team and the continued support of our customers, who kindly took the time to vote for us.”



Looking ahead, 2026 is set to be an exciting year. We will be welcoming passengers on holidays throughout Scotland, the Lake District and Ireland, as well as to destinations further afield including Austria, Switzerland, Canada, Colorado and the Rocky Mountains, Sri Lanka, and many more.



You can explore all our upcoming holidays in our digital e-brochures, available to view here.



Thank you once again to everyone who voted, travelled with us, and continues to support us.
