Sabre Adds UK Train Tickets to Travel Marketplace

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 the rail provider’s API, Trainline Connect, making all of its UK rail content available to over 425,000 Sabre-connected travel agents globally.

The new capability addresses an important need for travel agencies in the UK, where rail transportation has grown in popularity among business and leisure travellers. With this new solution, travel agents 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 very latest API functionality and integrated into 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.

Ian Cairns, thetrainline.com B2B sales director said, “I’m delighted to make Trainline content available in Sabre’s global travel marketplace. 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.”
