Save with business rail travel

Rail users in the UK spend a higher proportion of their wages on travel than workers anywhere else in Europe, rail campaigners have revealed this year.

For the average-earning British worker (?27,200 annually), as much as 17% of earnings are now being spent on commuting to and from work or on business travel.

With this in mind, more and more companies are now taking up the responsibility for helping their employees find the best prices for business travel and removing the hassle of planning and booking season tickets or corporate travel, and finding out how business or corporate rail accounts can be beneficial to both their bottom line and their employees.

With the flexibility of booking 12 weeks in advance, as much as 80% off the price of tickets can be saved. There are no annual or hidden booking fees and travel planning is carried out by experienced, dedicated account managers. A business or corporate account also allows for bespoke pricing and incorporates employee benefit schemes linked to buying annual season tickets.

Rail ticketing firm thetrainline.com offers a business account, with up to 59 days credit available and flexible delivery options. Its corporate account offers a customised service for companies spending more than ?200,000 a year on rail travel, which comes with additional tools to accurately monitor and control rail spend plus flexible payment and ticket collection options.
