Rail Travel advice & important information

AFTERNOON DEPARTURES: Departures from London are always after midday, but check-in can be mid-to-late morning depending on the exact train departure time, confirmed to us 8 weeks before travel. Please bear this in mind when planning your journey to St Pancras. An overnight stay at a nearby hotel prior to travel may be worth considering - call for details.

FITNESS TO TRAVEL: Tours by train can be physically demanding with no personal or luggage assistance available at stations and on boarding and disembarking trains. Tour Managers cannot provide individual physical assistance with luggage and boarding. You must move your own luggage between platforms, on and off trains and into storage racks. On the TGV train you may be allocated seating and luggage storage on the upper deck.
Where overnight or main hotels are less than 150 metres (approx) from the station, no transportation or luggage assistance will be provided.
These holidays involve a certain amount of physical activity including walking, climbing up stairs and steps and some sightseeing by foot which requires a reasonable level of fitness and mobility. If you have any concerns, please let us know at the time of booking as it will not be possible for the Tour Manager to make special arrangements or assist with mobility problems during the holiday.

PLEASE HELP US TO HELP YOU: All clients MUST inform GN Holidays of any mobility limitations and/or health issues at time of booking so we can advise if the holiday is suitable. Where undisclosed information subsequently causes you and/or us any problems during the holiday, you alone will be liable and responsible for any expenses incurred and arrangements needed to resolve the problems.

REFUSED TRAVEL: We reserve the right to refuse travel at check-in to anyone who, in our opinion, is not fit to undertake the journey.

LUGGAGE RECOMMENDATIONS: There are no actual luggage weight restrictions imposed by the rail companies. However, for your comfort and convenience we recommend you limit your luggage to the following: ONE main suitcase/holdall with built in wheels weighing no more than 15 to 20kg per person - Plus ONE small shoulder bag/holdall per person.
