Day's out and touring train info

Sometimes taking a day out by train is not the most appealing idea.  You might have several changes of train, it will probably be quite expensive, and the train may well be busy.  So why not take a rail tour?  Train tours operate with dedicated trains, so it is only those on the tour on board.  There is plenty of space, everyone gets a seat, and they use trains with comfortable coaches.  Also with it being a tour all you need to do is get to the joining station and then sit down and relax - no changes of train and one reasonable price for the day out.  Rail tours have long been associated with rail enthusiasts (and they are still good for those with an interest in the train!)  However people simply looking for a day out have also discovered tour trains as an excellent way to get out and about.  Tour companies are also responding by scheduling tours that take in nice scenery and visits to places of interest.  Our friends at Compass Tours have some excellent day's out by train during 2011.
