Welcome to 2021
The year of 2020 has been a challenging time for everyone - difficult times that have tested our inner strength and the fairness of this world. Staying positive and embracing what is still wonderful and beautiful in our lives is vital to overcoming our worries and anxieties. Our 2021 calendar offers a moment to reflect with photos and words which evoke a sense of peace and optimism. We hope you will be inspired to travel by train again to enjoy the simple pleasure of a walk along a coastal beach or by the banks of a shimmering lake.
