Travel technology firm Sabre and rail booking service The Trainline have signed a long-term content deal.
The agreement means Sabre will integrate with Trainline’s API, making all of its UK rail content available to more than 425,000 Sabre-connected travel agents globally.
The content is made available to travel agents using the API functionality and integrated into Sabre Red Workspace via a graphical user interface, enabling agents to shop, book and manage UK rail journeys in the Sabre GDS.
Clare Gilmartin, CEO for Trainline, said: “In a fast changing rail distribution landscape we are passionate about using technology to bring a world class rail experience to each of our customers.
“Sabre demonstrates those same values and we’re delighted they have chosen to partner with Trainline to provide UK rail to their global marketplace.”
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.”
