David Gardner, Head of Sales at Train Chartering enthuses: “Every day promises great racing, entertainment and a range of hospitality options. Travel with us in guaranteed First Class seats with Dining option; your journey is part of the day’s enjoyment rather than an endurance test. When the last seat is reserved, no further sales can be taken, so my advice is to book early and avoid disappointment.”
Lee Moulson, Regional Head of Sales for the south west region of The Jockey Club commented, “It’s very exciting to be working with Train Chartering to offer the exclusive Cheltenham Trains from London to Cheltenham during The Festival. We know that a lot of our racegoers come from London and the south east, so to be able to offer a luxurious train journey to and from London, as well as direct transfers to the racecourse and food on board really is a fantastic option to ensure the best day out at The Festival.”.
