🎉 Celebrating 30 Years of Smarter Travel! 🎉
From a simple idea sketched in a pub in 1995 to saving UK travellers over £68 million, Raileasy Ltd — now the parent company of both Raileasy and TrainSplit.com — has been quietly changing how we travel by train.
Back then, Ferries Trains Planes Ltd (FTPL) launched with a mission: use technology to make travel simpler, fairer, and more affordable. Since those early days, we’ve been pioneering tools that help you find the best fares, make split ticketing easy, and put control back in your hands.
🚆 Key milestones:
• 2007: Raileasy becomes the UK’s first independent online rail retailer
• 2014: TrainSplit launches, making split ticketing straightforward and saving millions
• 2023: Launch of Digital Railcards
• 2024: Brand-new TrainSplit apps with fresh design and features
Today, Raileasy and TrainSplit are driven by a new generation of innovators, building on the vision of Giorgio Sikking and Mike Richardson. The two founders who dared to imagine a better way to travel.
To all our users, partners, and team members past and present, thank you. Here’s to the next 30 years of making train travel easier, cheaper, and fairer.
Try us next time you travel. You might be surprised how much you save!
