Business train travel - what to consider

Travel Tips

  • Book smart: best prices are three months in advance.
  • Travelling by train often offers you more opportunity to work while you travel and this work can be put down as work hours.
  • Travelling by train is ood for reading and writing, not so much for internet intense work, as these can be testy at best on trains.
  • Going by plane and returning by train, or vice versa, can also be a good compromise in case the destination is far.
  • It's best to reserve all tickets through the same company, in case of delay or cancellation, they have to ensure you arrive at your final destination.
