📌 “The rail industry needs to sell travel, not just tickets” — Railway Gazette, May 2025 (Link)
What IRR would like to see is what you see in the airline and hotel business, where you can push out deals to people and say, ‘come to Edinburgh for £20 in the next two weeks’. And attract people to rail, sell rail rather than just retailing it.”
— Anthony Smith, CEO, Independent Rail Retailers
This sentiment speaks directly to how we see the future of rail. At Raileasy, and through TrainSplit, we believe in making travel not just functional, but exciting and accessible. We don’t just want to sell tickets, we want to inspire journeys.
