A King's Lynn holiday company has won a prestigious national travel award.

The Railway Touring Company has been named the Best Small Travel Company for Rail Holidays at the British Travel Awards.

The company was started in 1996 and offers rail holidays exploring the UK - in Scotland, Snowdonia and the Lakes - and further afield in the Fjords of Norway and the Rocky Mountains in the USA.

It has previously won the Best Small Specialist Interest Holiday Company in 2020 and Best Small Rail Holiday Company in 2019.

Managing director Kelly Osborne said: “We want to thank all our customers who took the time to vote for us and I’d like to thank our team for their tremendous work.

“Everyone at the Railway Touring Company is passionate about rail travel and particularly heritage rail. We are constantly researching routes and destinations in the quest to provide unique and interesting holidays and days out.

"This accolade makes all that dedication worthwhile.”

In 2023, the company is working in partnership with the National Railway Museum to provide day tours on the Flying Scotsman to celebrate the world-famous locomotive’s centenary.
