Trainline, the independent digital rail platform, has announced new digital initiatives that will allow customers around the world to purchase train tickets in their own language.
As part of this initiative, Trainline has added 11 new websites, with nine additional languages, displaying prices displayed in 15 new currencies.
The new websites mean Trainline now provides more languages than any other digital rail ticketing platform in Europe. The new languages provided by Trainline are Dutch; Swedish; Danish; Norwegian; Czech; Portuguese (European and Brazilian); Polish and Mandarin Chinese.
This brings the total languages now available on the platform to 14.
