Business Travel

Reconnecting business

We’ve invested £500 million to transform our services, introducing modern trains, free Wi-Fi and more benefits to match your business needs. As we continue to reconnect and get back to business, take the train and use your time onboard by preparing for your meeting, getting ready for that big pitch or simply just relaxing.

Our business direct platform

Our business direct platform makes travelling for business easier to book.

Simply create an account, add your colleagues, set and control their spending if needed – and away you go. It takes just a few minutes to get started.

What are the benefits?

• The platform will allow businesses to book rail 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• Customers can pay by credit card/debit card or be invoiced
• It will give a comprehensive custom-made reporting package that allows you to run detailed travel expenditure reports
• You can add users with authority to book tickets at thresholds you set, for example restricting users to book Standard Class only
• The system will show the lowest fares
• Compare emissions data for rail vs car (petrol & diesel)
