Great Rail Journeys welcomes passengers aboard with added tour dates

Great Rail Journeys is celebrating the official re-start of UK travel, offering rail tours across Scotland, Wales and Yorkshire. 

The travel provider has attained Visit Britain?s ?We?re Good to Go? accreditation, so travellers can be sure their holidays adhere to all COVID related industry standards. For added reassurance, Great Rail Journeys has launched small groups offer as standard, with all 2021 UK and European escorted tours having no more than 25 people in the group, and has also updated its travel insurance to give additional COVID cover at no extra cost.

Customers booking by May 31 can make the most of the escorted tour provider?s flexible booking offer, giving guests the opportunity to transfer their holiday for free should their plans need to change.

Peter Liney, CEO of Great Rail Journeys, said: ?At Great Rail Journeys, our joy is taking people on holiday and after a year of so much uncertainty across the travel industry, we?re delighted to be able to welcome our customers back on tour and would like to wish them all a brilliant, long-awaited holiday here in the UK.?

Holidaymakers can book their next UK getaway, with extra capacity added to July - October departures.
