Bringing rail into the 21st century

SilverRail, the transformational technology business dedicated to giving travellers access to global rail content, has developed an Infographic to highlight the five standards that it believes the industry must follow to enable rail to realise its full potential.

Rail travel data is fragmented, siloed, duplicated, inconvenient and disorganised. SilverRail’s infographic brings this to life, highlighting just some of the complexities consumers face when booking rail. Whilst also revealing the steps they believe the industry needs to take in order to unlock rail’s true potential, and bring it into the 21st century.

The five standards to bring rail into the 21st century include:

  • One language protocol for all;
  • Streamlined journey planning;
  • A global rail portfolio;
  • Live online booking anytime, anyplace and anywhere;
  • One ticket to rule them all

Will Phillipson, Founder & President at SilverRail Technologies, said:

“At SilverRail we see and understand rail’s potential. Until now it has missed out on necessary technological advances that have transformed other forms of transport such as air; however, this is beginning to change. Our mission is to bring rail into the 21st century, and we have identified five key standards with which this can be achieved. Rail has a customer experience problem – it is complex, siloed and fragmented. This infographic shows the extent of that complexity and what steps the industry needs to take to unlock and power rail’s renaissance.”
