trainline is an internet and telephone service which sells tickets for British train services. Launched in 1997 and going online in 1999, the business has gone from strength to strength ever since, acquiring its main online rival Qjump in 2004 from National Express Group.
The company's website is the leading online independent train ticket retailer, so discount vouchers for trainline could certainly be beneficial to those who travel regularly. The rail industry accredits its systems, but it is not linked to train operating companies and its systems search the complete range of journeys and fares depending on customer preferences.
In addition to its online customer services, trainline provides website services for 14 out of the 18 British train operating companies and direct rail business travel service to a number of travel management companies, blue chip corporations and travel agents. Those not so savvied up in terms of the internet can use the call centre service.
In 2008 trainline introduced its ticket alert service which allows customers to sign up to receive email alerts when cheaper advance tickets become available for particular journeys which have been pre-selected by the customer. A discount voucher for trainline could cut even more off the cost of the journey.
There is a booking fee when purchasing tickets with a credit card and a standard booking fee for all transactions. Look out for discount codes for trainline in order to make savings wherever possible on train journeys.
