TrainsEurope has seen a huge rise in booking for the Amtrak, US rail services. On the first two days of the Times Destination Show, the organisation referred an estimated 100 customers to its direct booking service, a 300% increase from the same event the previous year.

Company Director, Vic Allen told Travel Daily: “The pound is still reasonably strong against the dollar, which is why we think the American tours are doing so well. Plus the states are cheaper generally.” The company also runs trains to Europe, launching new offi ces in St Pancras, London in July last year.
