Trainline, Swile Expand Rail Offers for Corporate Travelers

Trainline Partner Solutions (TPS) and Swile Travel have extended and broadened their long-term partnership to improve how business travelers book train journeys across Europe.

The renewed agreement is centered on corporate mobility, reflecting growing demand from companies that want more efficient, lower-emission, and centrally managed travel options for employees moving between European cities.

Expansion of rail operators on the platform

As part of the expansion, Swile Travel is significantly increasing the number of rail operators available through its system.

The platform will now integrate key providers in Spain and Italy, including Renfe, Iryo, and Italo. Their inclusion greatly extends both domestic and cross-border rail options for business users.

• Renfe operates a mix of high-speed and regional services across Spain, connecting numerous major city pairs.
• Iryo, a newer high-speed operator, has quickly established a presence on Spain’s busiest corridors and has already carried millions of passengers, signaling strong market demand and consistent service performance.
• In Italy, Italo is known for its premium high-speed services that link key business centers, offering a competitive alternative to air travel on many routes.

These companies join an already established portfolio that features well-known European rail brands such as SNCF, Eurostar, Ouigo, Trenitalia, BeneVia, and SBB.

Making rail a more practical choice for corporate trips

By bringing these operators together within a single booking environment, the partnership reduces the complexity associated with planning rail travel across multiple national systems.

Business travelers and corporate travel managers gain easier access to schedules, fare options, and seat availability from a growing list of providers, all in one place. This improved visibility and convenience can encourage companies to choose rail for trips that might previously have defaulted to flights due to fragmented booking processes.
