Mat here, MagRail CEO! I’m in Japan right now. Check out these cute little ticket envelopes.

On Friday, I’m catching the train to Matsumoto to hang out with our Japanese rail ‘insider’ expert. Can’t wait.

A fond farewell. The Magnificent Rail team has been the proud home of Amie for 2 years. Many of you MagRailers have experienced her lovely energy in that time - in fact, more than 300 of you booked directly with her.

However; as CEO, I’ve decided to steal Amie for another project 🙂 which means she’s switching to a new team.

Amie is now going to be in charge of designing and organising new MagRail trips (and other trips for our Leatherback Travel group). And she’s moving to Europe to make it happen.

A very exciting moment for her but we also wanted to publicly thank her for her work on MagRail to this point -

Mat.

Flashback - high speed trains in Uzbekistan.

It’s Mat here, MagRail CEO.

If you want to get offered a free beer, it’s easy.

Step 1 - go to the meals carriage

Step 2 - ask someone a question

Step 3 - find yourself with a group of new friends and a beer in hand

Step 4 - your guide tracks you down on the train to let you know that you’re just about to miss your station 😂

Great memories!

Just dropping this one in here... remind you of anything?!🤔

We're back (after a little break!)

Let's kick off 2025 with a gratitude post to our fabulous guides 🫶🏼 (see the photo captions)

YOU appreciated their humour, level of enthusiasm and depth of 'secret' local knowledge, making for fun times - and trips that will stay in your memories forever.

WE appreciate their attention to detail and next level of kindness and care in making you feel safe and well looked after.🙏

Happy 2025 to all of our MagRailers and our extended team all around the world 🥂🎉

Hi! it’s Mat here, CEO of MagRail.

(If I’m looking a wee bit tired it’s because it’s the final day of a big travel conference)

I’ve been seeing a lot of travel companies advertising ‘Black Friday’ specials

Just to be clear - we will NEVER do this

I think it’s completely unfair for someone to take the leap of faith and help to fill up a trip and then have bargain hunters sn**ch the last spots for 20% less

That’s just not how we work!

Maybe we’d make more profit in the short term but we’re in the long term game

No. 42 Nguyen Hue Street, Ho Chi Minh city!

(aka Cafe Apartment Building) - one of Saigon's many quirks :)

Speaking of food! (Mat mentioned it last time...)

Just ask this MagRail crew about JAPAN!🥳

And our Lou - she's our in-house authority on all (authentic) foods of Japanese!

Hello from Singapore!!

Hi, it’s Mat here, CEO of Magnificent Rail.

I’ve just been road-testing our Singapore to Bangkok trip

And I have to say ..

The fact that there are still spots available on this trip is a crime against the heavens..!

If you like great food (ie like 96% of the population), this is possibly the best trip you could do

Oh my, did I put on a bit of a food belly…

Regrets? I have none!

Here's our excited team member, Radina (from Bulgaria), welcoming our Budapest-to-Istanbul MagRailers to Sofia yesterday! Radina lives locally and was more than happy to pop in to lunch with her happy vibe and say 'hi'... hi Radi! 👋😍

For all you MagRailers doing our 'Balkans' and 'Budapest to Istanbul' adventures, it's not unusual that you'll meet someone from our European team, who are spread out across these regions 😁 We love it! 🫶

Would you do it?! Hard to say 'no' to taking a dip in Croatia's Adriatic Sea on Hvar Island.

This MagRailer made the most it! It's all just part of the ongoing adventures between train rides....

Ana here from the team! Just wanted to share this exquisite, mouthwatering clip of potato 'pita' in the making! 🤤😋 Apparently, the secret is in getting the pastry super, paper-thin - as you can see, it's practically see-through! MagRailers on our Balkans trip are getting some awesome insider tips on how to prepare it 🤗 I just want to leave you with some final words on the name 😊 In other parts of the Balkans, this specialty is referred to as 'burek', for example in Croatia where I'm from we refer to all of the filled pastries as burek - whether it's meat, cheese, spinach or potato. BUT!☝️ In Bosnia-Herzegovina, only the meat-filled pastry is burek - the other fillings are always 'pita'. So while in Rome (ie Sarajevo) - this is pita. Also - and this is a personal 'peeve' 😅... technically, this is not 'pie', so I'm not sure why locals translate it that way. You can see that it's a flaky pastry after it's baked. So I prefer to call this either potato pastry (for English) or burek (because I'm Croatian) - but if I was visiting BiH I would definitely be using the local 'pita' 😄

Far from home - our MagRailers' magical encounter with the bell-shaped spires of Borobudur.
