Rail module
Sell cross-border rail journeys with connections, seat reservations on every leg, saver to flex fares, global and country rail passes, and mobile tickets with a QR code, all from one admin.
The rail module
International rail is rarely one train. A traveller going from Amsterdam to Bruges rides a high-speed service to Brussels, changes platform and takes a regional train to the coast. The rail module finds those connections, keeps each leg with its own operator, seat and fare conditions, and sells the whole journey as one booking with one payment.
It also sells rail passes, so a traveller who plans many trips can buy a global or country pass and reserve seats on the trains that need it. Domestic train ticketing with class quotas lives in the trains module, and sea and road legs come from ferries and buses.
Every plan includes the source code. Compare the editions on pricing or book a live demo to see a journey booked end to end.
Direct and connecting trains across borders, with transfer times checked at every hub.
1Coach plans with 1st and 2nd class, quiet zones and table seats, reserved per leg.
2Saver, semi-flex and flex fares with exchange, refund and peak rules shown before payment.
3Global and country passes for youth, adult and senior travellers, with travel day counting.
4QR tickets with the coach and seat, sent by email and kept in the traveller account.
5Rail inventory from connected suppliers and your own contracts, sold by agents with markups.
6Journey planner
A search returns direct and connecting journeys. Each one shows the trains, the operators, the change and how long the traveller has to make it.
Set how long a change takes at each station, so the planner never sells a connection a traveller cannot make.
A high-speed leg and a regional leg keep their own operator, train number, class and conditions inside one booking.
Sell a through fare when the suppliers offer one, or combine two tickets and show the traveller which conditions apply to each.
Timetables, seats and prices come from the supplier at search time, so what the traveller sees is what can be booked.
Rail journeys sit in the same checkout as flights and hotels, so a traveller can fly into one city, take the train to the next and book the hotel at the end of the line.
Departures
Carriage diagram
Travellers see the train as it runs: the coaches in order, the class of each, and a coach plan with every seat, table, quiet zone and luggage rack.
Direction of travel
Coach 11 · 1st class
Coach 12 · 2nd class
Coach 13 · 2nd class
Wider 1+2 seating in 1st class and 2+2 in 2nd, drawn from the coach plan the supplier returns.
Seat attributes such as window, aisle, table and quiet zone are shown and can be requested.
High-speed trains that require a seat get one at booking. Regional trains with open seating skip this step.
Travellers can pick a seat on the plan, or let the system assign one that matches their preferences.
Fare conditions
The same train can be sold at three prices. The difference is what the traveller can change afterwards, so the conditions sit beside each fare.
| Condition | Saver | Semi-flex | Flex |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example price, Amsterdam to Brussels | –Lowest, limited seats | –Mid price | –Full price |
| Train | Booked train only | Booked train only | Any train on the day |
| Exchange | Not allowed | Allowed with a fee, until departure | Free, until departure |
| Refund | Not refundable | Refund with a fee, until 1 day before | Full refund, until departure |
| Peak and off-peak | Off-peak trains only | Peak and off-peak | Peak and off-peak |
| Seat reservation | Included | Included | Included, changeable |
Off-peak fares are valid outside the commuter windows. The hours are set per route, so a saver fare is only offered on the trains it can be used on.
Each fare shows its exchange and refund rules in the results and again on the checkout page.
Exchanges and refunds are handled from the booking, with fees applied from the fare conditions.
Operators selling their own inventory can create fare families, quotas and conditions themselves.
Rail passes
Passes are products of their own: a coverage area, a number of travel days in a period, a class and a price for each type of traveller.
Travel across every country in the pass network
Travel on the rail network of one country
Example prices. You set your own passes, prices and traveller types in the admin.
A pass starts on its first travel day or on a chosen date, and the validity period is counted from there.
Each day with a journey uses one travel day. The traveller account shows how many are left.
Pass holders still reserve seats on trains that require them, sold as a reservation-only ticket.
Each pass has a price per traveller type and age band, checked against the date of birth at checkout.
E-ticket
When payment clears, the traveller gets a ticket with a QR code for each leg, the coach and seat, and the fare conditions in plain words.
Suppliers and B2B
Journeys, seats and passes come from connected rail suppliers and from your own contracts. Agents sell them from the B2B portal at their own prices.
Timetables, fares, seat maps and passes from rail supplier APIs, booked and ticketed in real time.
Operators and agencies with their own rail allocation load routes, fares and passes in the admin.
Sub-agents and companies book rail from the B2B portal with markups, commissions and a wallet balance.
Agent rules work the same way as for every other product in the B2B portal, and the integrations page lists every supplier by category.
