TheTrainline director of sales, Adrian Watts, said: “This success is due to the fact that customers can capitalise on the significant savings associated with online bookings. Over the last year we have significantly grown our share in the business travel market and this has meant that we have been able to develop new products, make further investment and has put us in a position for continued growth and expansion for 2005.”
