Jorge Pere Alvarez, director of partner development at Amadeus, said: “This partnership between Amadeus and Trainline will elevate rail travel experiences for users everywhere.”
“This enhancement marks a significant step forward in our ambition to provide seamless and efficient access to a diverse range of rail carriers.” He added.
Alongside adding new train operating companies to Cytric’s platform, the integration of Trainline Partner Solutions’ API means the company can offer mobile eTickets to its customers.
Amadeus said that future releases on Cytric would also allow the platform to process refunds and cancellations as well as split ticketing, a feature that can offer travellers a better deal on rail travel by splitting their journey across multiple tickets.
