Rail HQ

Decade commitment

Continental train travel specialist Rail Europe is to retain its Kings Hill headquarters for a further ten years.

The company is the UK’s leading specialist in tickets and passes for rail travel around Europe and has been based on the business park since 2001. Its office building, 34 Tower View, was specially designed to suit its requirements.

Over 80 staff are based at the Kings Hill offices, and, said Andrew Blevins, managing director of Kings Hill developer LibertyProperty Trust UK Ltd: “It is great news for Kings Hill and for Kent that Rail Europe is remaining here.”

Rail Europe offers tickets for high speed, overnight and scenic rail journeys to and throughout Europe. It also offersInterRail passes covering up to 30 European countries, tickets for AutoTrain car carrying services and ski trains.

Karen McClellan, deputy managing director of Rail Europe, commented: “Kings Hill is an ideal location for Rail Europe. Our staff come from throughout Kent and all find it easy to reach us due to the excellent transport links with both road and rail. The onsite facilities make it a pleasant and convenient place to work and I’m delighted that we will be remaining here for another ten years.”
