Rather than waiting to arrive at a meeting venue, teams can begin collaborating, presenting or networking while travelling in an exclusive private carriage. Carriage hire provides a unique environment for meetings, strategy sessions, client hospitality and team-building activities, helping organisations make more effective use of their time.

For larger events, conferences, away days and festive celebrations, Avanti West Coast’s dedicated Group Travel team can create bespoke rail packages tailored to each organisation’s requirements. Options can include a dedicated host, personalised service and onboard experiences such as quizzes or tastings, turning the journey into an extension of the event itself.

Rail travel also offers organisations a more sustainable alternative to travelling by road or air, helping to reduce environmental impact without compromising on comfort, convenience or productivity.

Whether transporting delegates to a major conference, bringing colleagues together for an away day or planning a memorable Christmas celebration, Avanti West Coast can help make the journey part of the occasion. Group bookings can be made up to a year in advance, enabling event planners to secure travel early and plan with greater confidence.

With Avanti West Coast, the most valuable part of an event could begin long before everyone arrives.
