Independent train ticket retailer Trainline has partnered with WESTbahn in a bid to expand its services in Austria.

The collaboration will enable Trainline customers to book WESTbahn tickets through its portal, including special deals and offers.

WESTbahn CEO Dr Erich Forster said: “Trainline and WESTbahn share the goal of making rail more attractive.
