The Railway Touring Company

摘要

The Railway Touring Company is unique as pearly all its steam hauled trains, both at home and abroad, are operated solely for its customers. There is access to all the best seats and best spots at the photo runpasts because there is only one group on the charter train. The company is the largest operator of steam-hauled main line trains in the UK, with a trip almost every week throughout the year. Then, in July, August and September, it offers six special steam-hauled trains per week. The major UK tour is, of course, the 'Great Britain'. This year, for the first time, the train splits north of Edinburgh and rejoins in Glasgow, giving customers the chance to sample the West Highland Main Line and the Highland Main Line on the same trip, as well as Cornwall, Wales and Cumbria. A bid to take over the operation of a luxury train in South Africa has been successful and the company hopes to operate a train known as the'Drakensburg Express', featuring predominantly steam haulage in the Durban, Ladysmith, Pretoria area of South Africa. More information should be available in January.
