Train Trip Reveal, Surprise Rail Journey Gift for Their Phone, Scratch Train Ticket Reveal, Digital Holiday Destination Reveal

A surprise train trip they open on their phone. A high-speed train races past, the station doors slide open, and the big DEPARTURES board flips to THEIR name. Then they collect a train ticket, scratch the gold window, and find out where they are going.

You set it up yourself on your phone in a few minutes, then send them one link by WhatsApp, text or email. They tap it, and the story plays on their own phone.

WHAT THEY SEE
- A high-speed train races along the track on their screen, seen from above
- Frosted station doors slide open onto a grand station concourse
- The big DEPARTURES board flips, row by row, to their name, "? ? ?" for the destination, their travel dates and "BOARDING" at platform 9
- A "Collect your ticket" button. The ticket comes up with their name, platform, coach, a window seat and a gold window
- They scratch the gold window with a finger. Their destination photo appears, the "? ? ?" on the ticket turns into the place name, the dates fill in and confetti flies
- Your message appears on the train ticket, and they get buttons to say thank you and add the trip to their calendar
- Works on any phone, iPhone or Android, in the phone's browser. No app, nothing to install, nobody signs up
- Nothing gives the destination away before the scratch
- Sent by WhatsApp it arrives as a picture card, "Something has arrived for Sophie", not a bare link

YOUR DESTINATION PHOTO
When they scratch the gold window, a photo of their destination appears.
- Over 100 destinations are ready to go, for example Paris, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, London, Bruges, Rome, Venice, Lake Como, Switzerland, Vienna, Prague, the Scottish Highlands and many more.
- Is your destination not on the list? Message us on Etsy. We'll add a photo for it at no extra cost.
- Prefer a general picture instead? Choose a beach, city, snowy mountains, countryside or "above the clouds" photo. This works well for a surprise trip, or for keeping the exact place secret until the day.

YOUR MESSAGE
Add your own message (up to about 250 characters). It appears on the train ticket after the scratch.
Stuck for words? Ask us via an Etsy message and we'll write one for you. Tell us who it is for, the occasion and the trip.

PERFECT FOR
A birthday, Christmas, an anniversary, a city break, a "we're going by train!" surprise for the kids, a train lover, or a gift they will want to film. Made for a city break, a rail holiday or any trip by train.
