Client endorsement
"Our organisation has consistently maintained an excellent buying profile through thetrainline.com business website so we were sceptical when they claimed that their new website would deliver further savings. In addition to launching the new website we switched on one of the new travel policy features; 'Cheapest Ticket'. Our average ticket value has dropped and is lower than our 2010 ticket value, despite January rail inflation rises of 6.2%.
We estimate that the new website and the Travel Policy will save our organisation 9% on our annual rail spend which is significant. It really demonstrates how a website can influence buyer behaviour and has very much exceeded our expectations."
