We believe that planning your journey and buying tickets should be just as pleasant and civilised, but we know that buying tickets online can often be time-consuming and confusing. Despite initiatives to simplify fares and make buying tickets easier, rail fares in the UK are still amazingly complex.
Travelling by train across Europe has never been easier. With fast and frequent Eurostar services through the Channel Tunnel and excellent onward connections, you can reach many European cities in less than the time it takes to fly - without any of the tedious check-ins and long taxi journeys.

We are in Somerset and found the company on the internet when struggling to buy European train tickets. I cannot praise them highly enough- they are knowledgeable, professional, helpful, friendly- everything a travel company should be and I will use them from now on and recommend them to everyone. I just wish they were in my High Stree!

I would not recommend using this travel agent at all. I have recently booked a cruise in Feb 19 and I had to cancel on the 3rd of April 19 due to circumstances. I have been in touch with royal carribean to find out about my refund?!? which they have already issued!!!! but gates are still saying that I can not receive my actual money till Tues 7th of May, which is a ridicules amount of time to wait. I would be very wary of using this agent ever-be warned!!!!

This travel agency is part of a local group based in Kendal. The staff know what their doing and, when I've been there very patient and obliging. They have the concession for selling train tickets, and will try their hardest to find a convenient route at the right price. They also do all the other things from Cruises to Coach trips, via package holidays. I find the atmosphere there relaxing and also noticed a coffee machine in use for another customer. I highly recommend the staff, and shop.
