The UK\u2019s favourite rail operator, Hull Trains, has celebrated an impressive five million customers journeys between Hull and London King\u2019s Cross with a very special surprise for its five millionth customer.<\/p>\n
The operator partnered with the local South Cave-based Little Wold Vineyard to mark the milestone, creating a special limited edition \u2018five million journeys\u2019 wine for the lucky customer, Lindsay, who was on her way to watch Bon Jovi in London. She was surprised with the first bottle of the wine during her journey on the 10:33 service from Hull.<\/p>\n
Hull Trains has revolutionised rail travel between East Yorkshire and London, offering a total of eight direct weekday train services, connecting Hull with destinations including Doncaster, Grantham, Selby and London King\u2019s Cross. Before Hull Trains launched services on 25th September 2000, there was just one train per day in each direction.<\/p>\n
Supporting the people and places on its route has been a key part of Hull Trains\u2019 success over the years, with the operator championing the local communities it serves. An important ingredient in that recipe for success is using the highest quality, locally based suppliers, including Little Wold Vineyard.<\/p>\n
Richard Salkeld, director of communications and partnerships at Hull Trains, said: \u201cFive million journeys between Hull and London King\u2019s Cross is a real milestone for us and we were keen to mark it in style by celebrating one of our amazing customers. Thank you to our friends at Little Wold Vineyard, one of our many valued local suppliers, for helping us to make this a memorable moment for Lindsay and everyone else onboard too. Here\u2019s to many more sustainable and affordable journeys to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Henry Wilson, from Little Wold Vineyard, added: \u201cWe\u2019re very proud of our partnership with Hull Trains, with our locally produced wine available to buy on their brilliant services.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to thank the team for asking us to be part of this very special milestone for them. As a fellow local business with sustainability at the heart of what we do, we\u2019d like to wish Hull Trains another successful five million journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n
