Trainline,
one of the UK’s leading online train ticket providers, has signed a long-term
agreement with Sabre to bring fully integrated UK rail content into the Sabre
travel marketplace.
Sabre will
integrate with Trainline Connect, the rail provider’s API, making all of its UK
rail content available to over 425,000 Sabre-connected travel agents globally.
With this
new solution, travel agents in the UK can now provide travellers with rail
options in the same way they offer airline and hotel travel.
The content
is made available to travel agents using the latest API functionality and is integrated
into the Sabre Red Workspace via a graphical user interface, enabling agents to
easily and efficiently shop, book and manage UK rail journeys in the Sabre GDS.
“This builds
on Trainline’s ethos of providing UK rail to customers “their way”, and will
significantly expand our global reach so agents all over the world can shop and
book our rail content,” said Ian Cairns, thetrainline.com’s B2B sales director.
