The private equity owner of A-Rosa has reportedly entered talks to acquire Great Rail Journeys.

The site was once the main trunk route for the York and North Midlands Railway and trains to London via Derby and Birmingham

Duke Street has started a period of “exclusive negotiations” with the rail specialist tour operator over a deal believed to be worth around £100 million, Sky News reports.

German river cruise operator A-Rosa was acquired by Duke Street for an undisclosed sum in January.

Duke Street declined to comment on claims made by Sky News.
