As group travel continues to be a popular method of rail travel and a complex logistical matter, Rail Europe has announced an expansion of Rail Group Easy, its dedicated means of offering group rail bookings across Europe.

The platform caters for groups ranging from 10 to more than 4,500 passengers, with an average booking size of around 20 travellers, and is used across markets including the US, Europe, India and Australia.

Rail Group Easy enables partners to manage multi-passenger bookings more efficiently, build domestic and cross-border itineraries, and secure group fares and availability in advance.

It also offers options such as private carriages, onboard services and the ability to hold seats before final passenger names are confirmed.

The solution is widely used for educational trips, corporate events and leisure groups.

Rail Europe supports journeys across domestic and international networks, including routes in Italy, Paris to London services, and cross-border links between Spain, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.
