This horrified cook .At seventeen Thomas joined the local Temperance Society and over the next few years spent his spare-time campaigning against the consumption of alcohol. Meetings were held throughout the country and it was this and the advert of the railroad that prompted him to charter a train to take temperance supporters from Leicester to Loughborough for a meeting on the 5th of July 1841. Cook charge one shilling and this included the cost of the rail ticket and the food on the journey. The venture was a great success and Cook decided to start his own business running rail excursions. The enormous response promoted him to arrange an increasing number and range of excursions to destinations in the British Isles, including seaside resorts, to give people a temporary escape from the drudgery of their daily lives. In 1885, his first group ventured abroad to visit Belgium, Germany and France, with all arrangements made by him. The interest of travelling grew in the first half of the twentieth century, particularly in the UK. Harry Warner opened his first holiday camp, followed by Billy Butlin in 1936.Holidaymakers enjoyed the accommodation in basic but bright chalets, three meals a day and entertainment for an all-inclusive price. These holidays grew popular.
