-
Eco-Friendly: Train travel is a greener way to celebrate, leaving a smaller carbon footprint and a bigger smile on Mother Earth's face.
-
Meet Fellow Fierce Folks: Chances are, you'll share your train ride with other Pride enthusiasts, sparking conversations and creating connections even before the festivities begin!
- Unleash Your Inner Showstopper: Who needs a designated driver when you've got a train carriage as your runway? Strike a pose, wear your most dazzling outfit, and let your Pride flag fly high! ✨
