Who are we
The train booking service for companies that are going places.
We’d had enough of hunting for fares, hanging on to paper receipts and wrestling with end-of-month expenses. So we’ve built a platform that makes business travel smooth and simple.
Every day we gather routes, prices, and travel times, spanning more than 80% of all train routes in Europe. We make it easy to pick the right ticket and go.
Our lively teams in Paris, London, Edinburgh, Barcelona and Milan are dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of millions of travellers.
They’re forever seeking out next-generation tech solutions, staying one step ahead.
Trains are made for business travel.
They’ll get you from city centre to city centre comfortably and efficiently, giving you the space (and the head space) to do your best work on the move.
Our mission
Effortless, efficient, easy – this is how we think every journey should be.
We’re powering the future of business travel. 🚅 By offering the widest possible range of train journeys in one place, our passengers enjoy more flexibility and cheaper prices.
Our values
We’re proud of our four core values. They’re at the heart of everything we do and ingrained in our culture.
We are building the future of rail
We focus on every customer, partner and journey
We make a positive impact
We are one team
