January not only welcomes the new year but very un-welcome 13% rail increases, the UK is already home to the highest rail fares in Europe. SME's had previously tightened their expenditure at the end of 2009 feeling that UK rail travel was poor value for money according to The National Passenger Survey conducted by Passenger Focus.  

Quno, the online rail search and booking engine, aims to help support PA's by discouraging them from purchasing tickets on the day of travel by booking in advance online. Astonishingly, more than two thirds of all UK rail ticket purchases are still bought on the day - not taking advantage of huge savings.
 
The NPS survey highlights the vital need most SME's have for rail travel with 63% of companies employees regularly travelling to client meetings and 38% travelling to conferences and training courses. However, these new fare increases needn't put additional pressure on PA's looking to cut costs.
 
Jeremy Acklam, UK MD of Quno.com says; “The best deals are available if you book in advance when it’s possible to get up to 80% off the standard rail ticket price, even booking the day before can prove to be a huge cost cutting exercise".
 
Along with large savings, the site also addresses findings that a fifth of SME employees claim they do not have a good understanding on how to get the best ticket. Quno offers a innovative platform, advanced technology, improved functionality and exclusive tools. Meaning the 31%-50% reductions called for by all business users are, in fact available!
