The Ro-Railer

In the heyday of the railways innovation was the key to overcoming the competition and luxury travel was to be aimed for. If you were to be accommodated in Stratford’s Welcombe Hotel how inconvenient it is to have to get out of the train with your luggage and get onto a bus. So come to the rescue the Ro-railer that could take you from any station to any hotel of the company’s choice on rail and road.
