The operator's first-ever dedicated rail brochure hopes to cater to demand that has seen enquiries double in the last two years
Bookings are up 37% in the last year alone, with enquiries for rail holidays up 125% since 2023.
The brochure not only celebrates this rapid rise in demand, but also the 200th anniversary of the first-ever passenger railway.
Tom Barber, Original Travel's co-founder, introduced the brochure. "At Original Travel, we will always suggest taking a train over a plane; it's a rare opportunity to slow down, plus a much better way to immerse yourself in the country because you see so much more of the landscape.
"It's the definition of the adage that travel is as much about the journey as the destination, so we are thrilled to see – and service – this travel trend."
Destinations in the brochure include Italy, India, Peru, South Africa, South Korea and Central Asia.
While this brochure is Original Travel's first standalone rail offering, it comes five years after the operator became the first luxury tour op to offer rail-only itineraries.
