About Us

Unlocking the Potential of Railway Retail

At Rail Estate, we don’t just see empty train station units – we see untapped opportunities for your business to grow.

The retail landscape has evolved dramatically, accelerated by the rise of online shopping and the shift in commuter patterns post-pandemic. While many see challenges in the changing high street, we see a future full of possibilities, particularly in underused retail space at railway stations.

Our Mission

We exist to revitalise underused station retail space and support a diverse mix of businesses to thrive in unique, commuter-friendly environments. By filling vacant units with innovative, customer-facing operations, we not only help businesses grow but also enhance the passenger experience and support ancillary revenue for the UK Train Operator Companies.

To date, we have generated over 3,000 enquiries for retail space on railway stations – more than anyone in the industry. We successfully match businesses, from national chains to start-ups, with their ideal retail locations.

Industry-Leading Retail Matchmaking
We offer the most extensive, up-to-date listings for train station retail units in the UK—faster, easier, and more transparently than any other provider.
