Vintage Trains is Britain's newest Train Operating Company

摘要

Vintage Trains has announced the granting of its passenger charter licence by the Office of Rail and Road, becoming the first ever Train Operating Company to be owned by the public and charitably controlled. On Friday June 1 2018, the history of the Great Western Railway steam depot at Tyseley in Birmingham reached a significant milestone. The Vintage Trains Community Benefit Society share offer had raised over £850,000, enabling Vintage Trains (VTL) to be launched. Securing its passenger operating licence means that VTL can now start running steam hauled, Pullman dining trains on the UK mainline rail network.
