PAST-TIME RAIL LTD

4th June 2009  


This is to notify you that for reasons beyond our control, we have had to cease trading and are regrettably in the process of appointing a Liquidator who will be writing in the next 7-10 days,to those of you who had current bookings.


Any amounts that you have paid to date will be a claim in the Liquidation.  Most passengers who have paid by Credit Card will be able to claim a refund from the Credit Card Company in due course.  We anticipate that the refund will only be processed after the Liquidation has commenced in a few weeks time.  If you paid by Debit Card or cheque you will become a Creditor. 

Our offices are now closed.  We have traded for many years and many passengers have travelled with us. We are truly sorry for the disappointment and any inconvenience caused by this sad news.  In the circumstances there was unfortunately no more that we could do.
