Travel management company Click Travel has added Eurostar to its online Travel Manager facility.

The tool lets travel buyers search any of the operator’s rail routes and compare them against alternative flights.

“We’re proud to be the first Galileo agents to launch this all-new service for our online clients,” said Click Travel managing director Simon McLean. “This will provide a number of key benefits for our clients, giving them increased flexibility and the added bonus of no online booking fees.

“Our system will offer a consolidated view of available flights alongside Eurostar, making it easier for our clients to compare times, prices and the increasingly important CO2 output.”

Earlier in the month the TMC also integrated TheTrainline’s ticket booking tool ‘Trainline Connect’ into its own online one-stop-shop for procurers, with McLean pointing out that in a “turbulent economic outlook for British businesses, the need to rationalise business travel and manage costs has never been more important.”

GDS provider Amadeus will begin trialling its own new rail booking solution known as Rail Plus with selected UK agencies later this month, with a full market release to follow in late August or early September.
