Rail-Blue Charters helps you to plan your charter train from start to finish.
We are here to help you through every step which takes the hassle away and makes it an easy and straight forward process.
Rail-Blue Charters offers you an integrated charter train process that ensures that all elements of your journey are aligned and so there's a consistency throughout.
If you want us to talk you through the process of where to start, how it works and (believe it or not) whether you can actually do it, please do not hesitate to give us a shout. We would be happy to answer all your questions, queries and concerns however daft - there's no such thing as a daft question in this game!
Alternatively, you can go to the FAQs and make a start there.
The first step in planning your train is for you to give us the following information so we can tell you (a) if it is achievable and (b) provide you with a quote for:
The price which we will quote to you includes all of the following:
Should you wish, we can also arrange a visit to the trainset so that you get a full understanding of the ambience created by the train. Our rolling stock is based at Crewe.
Once the price has been agreed and you are happy with the formation of the train, we liaise with the relevant parties to confirm the timings and secure the path with Network Rail. Network Rail will then issue the timings.
From there, a deposit is paid by yourself to secure your chartered train.
A seating plan is provided so that you can allocate the seats to the passengers who travel on the train.
If the chartered train is for leisure purposes, you might want some help with marketing the seats on the train which we are happy to provide.
Depending on your catering requirements, we liaise with you and our chef to deliver food which is suitable for the journey and the travel times.
We will liaise with you on a regular basis to keep you up-to-date if there are any changes.
We will join you on the train journey to ensure a smooth run.
All we ask in return is that you tell us as soon as possible if you want any changes making. For example, a standard class vehicle replaced by a first class one. It takes a little time to sort out, so the sooner we know, the easier it is to accommodate you!
