Sally Hauser, product and sales manager for Fred Holidays Rail Journeys, said the new brochure features a "fantastic selection of journeys" that will "really capture the imagination".

"Travelling by rail is one of the most relaxed and eco-friendly ways to arrive directly into the heart of any destination and, as you sit back, it gives you the opportunity to admire the scenery as you travel through the countryside and city scapes," she added.

"As tailor-made specialists, all of our journeys can be customised which means our clients can be in control of their holiday while leaving the intricacies of booking to our knowledgeable experts."
