Trainline Partner Solutions (TPS), Trainline Group’s business-to-business branch, is expanding its partnership with American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) to bring more convenient and lower-carbon business rail travel across the UK and EU.
TPS has been working with Amex GBT to provide rail travel in the UK for the past 10 years. A multi-year contract is expanding the partnership to offer the service to customers across the EU, giving access to train travel via Amex GBT’s wholly owned and third-party booking channels.
From the end of 2025, Amex GBT customers will have access to enriched content via Trainline. Features including online booking and after-sales, access to train seat maps and cost savings via Trainline’s SplitSave for UK journeys will be available.
Customers will also be able to see carbon emission calculations for their journeys and compare the environmental impact of rail and air travel.
Andrew Cruttenden, General Manager at Trainline Partner Solutions, said: “Our expanded partnership with Amex GBT will make it easier for corporate travellers to travel by train in Europe through our cross-border and journey stitching capabilities, which allow seamless ticketing across different operators.
“We continue to see significant demand from businesses and their employees who want to choose sustainable travel options, which have sometimes been less easy to access than short-haul flights due to differing national operators and ticketing arrangements. Bringing it all together on Amex GBT’s platforms, powered by Trainline Partners Services, will help people make better choices when travelling for business.”
Becky Power, Vice President of Commercial at Amex GBT, said: “Working with Trainline represents a significant step forward in offering comprehensive rail travel options across the UK and EU.
“By integrating their advanced booking capabilities and carbon tracking features, we’re supporting corporations and their employees in making more sustainable travel choices without compromising convenience or efficiency.”
