The GhanAbout the Club
The Luxury Train Club is possibly unique in the rail business in presenting the large majority of luxury trains in one website. This is a useful facility, both for the luxury train owners and those who not only appreciate the finest way to travel on earth but can afford to do so.
Browse through our list of trains and contact us if you wish to make an enquiry or a booking and we'll do the rest for you...we can even organise your travel to the train.
This is the new age of rail, which has many benefits for travellers, for communities, for the environment and our wider society.
Investment is flowing into the railways worldwide and global concerns about the environment are maturing into positive action. The result is that the number of travellers is growing. At the same time spending on luxury travel is gradually increasing, year on year.
Despite this, most luxury trains continue to have a low profile with their prospective markets. Train owners do not always have the resources to reach a global marketplace nor do they benefit from marketing relationships similar to those enjoyed by others in the luxury travel sector such as small boutique hotels.
Every successful category of commerce - shoes, cars, hotels, phones - has a premium product or sector, the strength of which helps others in the same industry; the relationship between luxury trains and other train services is no different.
The Luxury Train Club is the concierge service to past, present and prospective passengers and their travel bookers for luxury train travel. The Club is currently offering free subscription by simply signing up to the newsletter. Names and emails will NEVER be passed on to another organisation.
This website is a source of frequently updated information, news and articles. It also offers travel suggestions, gift ideas and guidance around the relatively unknown world of luxury train travel. Subscribers may from time to time be offered unusual or rare items and opportunities not always available to the general public.
I hope that you will find subscription to the Club, this website and our occasional newsletter of real value. Please do not hesitate to call me on +44 (0)1249 890176 or email me with ideas and comments on the Club.
