Save Time & Money on UK Train Travel

Your boss calls, he wants to go by train to a location you've never heard of and he has to be there by 9am tomorrow. And it goes without saying the fare has to be the cheapest option possible. Add this task on top of the 27 you need to do today, but don't despair, a new train booking tool is here to help. First Great Western's train travel booking facility Business Direct Online not only finds the quickest, simplest routes to anywhere in the UK, it searches for the best prices and displays all possible options, it is available 24/7. Tickets can be either be posted depending on when booked or collected on departure 'TOD' But it is not just a booking tool, this facility will enable you to control costs as you can monitor rail spend and apply your company's travel policy - if you so wish. This system is so flexible, you can have as much control as you want - you can even set up yourself as administrator so you can view data, manage users and ensure all bookings are overseen by you.

Importantly there are no transaction, commission or management fees. The fare you see on the screen, is the price you pay. No hidden fees - so it makes even more sense to consider Business Direct Online.

So, how does it work? Open an account, which only needs minimal information and takes a few minutes online to do - you can start booking rail travel immediately. Your company account can be set up with one sole user or multiple users. You can enter travellers' details before they need to travel, saving time when you do come to book for them. You are in control.

You can also view individual travel, control company rail spend, assign costs to specific costs centres as well as ensuring your travel policy, if you have one, is being followed.

So whether booking your own ticket, planning or booking a journey for others to anywhere in the UK or administrating the account for your company, you'll quickly discover that Business Direct Online is packed with features that deliver real business benefits.
