5 reasons to travel by train…..

2. Comfort – Whether it is for long or short journeys, comfort is always appreciated. Onboard you will find spacious carriages with large seats and space for luggage. You can easily walk on the train or socialise at the bar-buffet car. While 2nd class offers good value for money, 1st class can be very affordable, so don’t hesitate to upgrade!
