Rail Adventures

As the old British Rail advert from the 1970s used to say, we should ‘Let the train take the strain’. And some 50 years later that is more relevant than ever. With our growing awareness of the impact that travel has on our planet, taking a rail based holiday is a great option.

Your journey no longer becomes a means of getting from one place to another - it is an integral part of your holiday, and one that for many travellers becomes the most rewarding. You will see the country up close and share the experience with your travelling companions and the local people. In our experience there is something special about taking the train. We all become equal – we share our food and drink, and our stories of life back home. We readily open up and on longer journeys we lose our inhibitions to share secrets with our newly found friends. This is the charm of train travel. Come along and join us on our next adventure.

Feedback from our Travellers

  • We've used UD for a number of rail holidays. There's nothing the company's owner doesn't know about trains. Our most remarkable trip was London all the way to Georgia by train. It was brilliant. The best thing was meeting the locals. All very different to flying.
