Trainline warns EU reform could limit independent rail ticket sales

22 Sept 2025
Message — Trainline wants a 'single journey' concept to ensure passenger travel continuation. They also request direct access to carrier data and refund processing tools.12
Why — This prevents financial liabilities that would otherwise make selling combined tickets commercially impossible.3
Impact — Large carriers lose their monopoly on customer support and data control.45

Response to Common form for reimbursement and compensation requests of rail passengers

6 Apr 2023

Trainline welcomes the effort to streamline the process for requesting reimbursement and compensation. The attached document outlines our feedback on the proposed standard form, based on our practical experience with customers. The form should take into account the limitations ticket vendors face in processing requests and reflect common practices around communications, privacy and payment methods. In addition, we suggest leaving room for vendors to also provide their own tools for submitting requests.
