    Weren't the first people promised refunds today and Has anyone had a refund yet ?


    I can confirm that I did not receive my refund! I was given yet another tracking number last Friday and was told it had been posted, however when I called his bluff and asked him to scan the Recorded Slip to prove it had been stamped and actually sent to me, he was unable to do so. If you are told that your cheque is on it's way don't believe it, for some reason he seems to enjoy leading you up the garden path! Keep registering your complaints as you will not see your money regardless of what he may keep telling you!

    Surely the company must have run out of excuses by now? Just keep on through the legal route and fingers crossed to you all.

    Have you run the tracking number through the RM site?

    Yep I checked it already. The number is DV122261765GB, I firmly believe that he just picked up a slip from the Post Office and read out the number to me hoping that this would be enough for me to believe that it had been sent. Based on the numerous times I have already been told that the money was sent I am confident that the uncompleted Recorded Slip is still in his back pocket.

    It appears that they may have another company under their management 'TALISMAN RAIL LIMITED', this company was also set up in March this year and is referred to on Prestige Rail's website..!!!
    So keep your eyes peeled as this company will no doubt be part of the SCAM!!!

    Just in case you are tuned into this thread and have been promised a Refund by XCITE TRAVEL, XCITE DESTINATIONS LTD, PRESTIGE RAIL SERVICE LTD, RAINBOW HORIZONS etc.... here are a sample of excuses & messages I have recevied over the past few months (April-July) via text whilst trying to claim my £825 refund for the Eurodisney trip that I never recevied, this might come in handy if you have also been promised a NON-Existent Refund: -
