Rail tour departures and passenger reservations
Give guests a clear way to choose a rail-tour departure, reserve available places and pay on your website. TicketingHub supports bookings for suitable tour products and experiences.
Itinerary and ticket validity
Show departure dates, start times, meeting stations, duration and inclusions before checkout. Explain whether a booking covers the rail journey itself, a guided excursion, accommodation or a package. Confirm any separately issued transport tickets.
Passenger capacity and seat allocation
Set availability around the places you intend to sell. Ticket capacity is different from assigned seating, carriage allocation and reservations held with a railway supplier. Demonstrate seat maps, class options, return journeys and shared allocations rather than assuming they are included.
Groups and passenger information
Make adult, child and group eligibility clear. Test the details needed for each passenger and how staff handle name or group-size changes. Confirm approval, invoices and payment deadlines for private or educational groups.
Railway systems and supplier commitments
A tour-booking dashboard does not replace railway dispatch, rolling-stock maintenance, network reservations or transport-fare systems. Bring your suppliers and existing systems to a demo and identify where ticketing ends and specialist operations begin.
Arrival instructions and changed services
Use confirmations and reminders for the exact meeting point, arrival time, ticket conditions and contact details. Explain how guests hear about timetable or itinerary changes and what refund or rescheduling policy applies.
Guest amendments
TicketingHub’s Magic Link can allow eligible changes within configured product options and deadlines. Rail-supplier commitments, seat changes and multi-day itinerary amendments may need staff approval and separate handling.
Sales channels and launch checks
Confirm supported reseller connections, product eligibility, commissions and availability mapping. Agree future-reservation import fields. Test checkout, passenger details, ticket validity, supplier allocation and an amendment before opening sales.
Questions about rail tour booking software
Does a booking include a reserved seat? Only where your confirmed setup provides it. Can we sell a multi-day rail package? Demonstrate itinerary, payment and supplier requirements. Does it replace railway operating software? Assess those specialist systems separately.
TicketingHub booking costs
TicketingHub’s standard fee is 3% per successful booking across online, in-person and OTA sales, with no monthly or setup fee. Payment processing charges and marketplace commissions are separate.
