SilverRail Helps Virgin Trains Ticketing Build App for UK Rail

Virgin Trains Ticketing is a new independent rail retailer in the UK — selling journeys across the UK national rail network.

They were looking for a technical partner who had a solid reputation in the market and had expertise in the UK rail industry to help them launch a ticketing app in a short space of time.

Director of Virgin Trains Ticketing, Mark Plowright, explains that it was important to build a platform that makes it easy to sell rail because the UK market needs to present more options to consumers.

In the below video, Mark reflects on why SilverRail was their go-to choice to help make this all possible.
