That’s our goal and so far, so good. From independent cafes to leading names in the retail industry, we’re proud to have helped over 45+ different types of business find their perfect platform and grow their brands on UK train stations. We’ve got budding entrepreneurs up and running, found the space for small business to expand, and helped breathe new life into both the biggest award-winning stations like Blackfriars and those all-important local links.
‘Rail Estate Search provides a slick and informative website / tool that has unlocked multiple opportunities to expand our business. Our enquires are responded to promptly by their knowledgeable and friendly team whose insights are invaluable. The process from start to finish is a welcome pleasure and discovering Rail Estate Search has certainly had a positive impact on our business.’

‘GTR launched on the Rail Estate Search website in summer 2020 and we have been very satisfied with the volume of quality enquiries that we have received for our vacant retail spaces. Enquiries have been diverse in their retail offerings and many have also looked to utilise outdoor opportunities around stations. To date, we are delighted that 38+ new tenants have been introduced to GTR through Rail Estate’s platform.
We have received positive feedback from enquirers, that it was a good professional experience and an effective introduction into GTR.
GTR has a large property estate across 240+ stations and we strive to offer our customers a wide range of retail opportunities in stations. Rail Estate Search has supported us in this ambition to bring new high-quality tenants to our stations.’

‘I’ve been a tenant of Network Rail/GTR for almost 7 years and have seen a great difference since they started to use Rail Estate Search to help find additional properties.
Being an independent coffee shop, I now feel more valued and appreciated for the services I brought to the train station and commuters. I have been offered opportunities to grow my business and have appreciated the recognition of all the hard work and investment I have put into the station units.
Furthermore, Rail Estate Search staff have shown great support in helping me get new units over the difficult times we’ve faced during the pandemic.
Thank you GTR and Rail Estate Search for your on-going support and commitment to tenants such as myself.’

‘First and foremost, I would like to start this email off by saying thank you.
My experience dealing with you initially was exceptional. You invested the time and understood my needs and concerns.
Our first two days trading have gone really well. We have invested in building relationships within our newfound community.
Today we saw returning customers from yesterday, letting us know they love our concept and want to support an independent local business by purchasing our items.
Couldn’t be happier!’

‘The Rail Estate website has been a useful tool in helping us find a unit from which to trade but the real added value is the extra mile that the people behind the site – especially Rob and Kevin – are prepared to go to help prospective tenants find a suitable fit.
Our new cafe “Track1” is about to open at Hurst Green and we can’t wait to get started.’

‘I wanted to let you and your team know that interacting with you over the last few months has been very professional and pain-free!
You do seem to have been genuinely interested in tenant welfare over this testing trading period and we look forward to working with you in the future.’

‘Helping us to grow.
We have been station tenants for about 6 years and the assistance that Kevin and his colleagues have given us has been fantastic. Questions and problems have always been dealt with great speed and good humour.
We are very grateful for the help you have given us to grow our small business during difficult times.’
