Rail Europe

Yesterday the Growth Team took a quick field trip from the Paris HQ, strictly for “market research,” of course. (And yes, even Parisians can’t resist a photo op in front of the Eiffel Tower now and then. 😂)   Six teammates, six countries, and depending on how you learned geography in school… four or five continents represented. 😉   Our team is our audience. Someone like Lachezar Stamatov from Bulgaria sees European train travel differently than Dheeraj Poonia from India or Lucas from Brazil or Kiitan Akande from Nigeria, and that’s exactly the point.   Every country (and traveller) brings a different view on what makes journeys easy, memorable, or worth taking. At Rail Europe, we try to keep that in mind, from our headquarters to every trip we help plan across the globe. 🚆✨   #RailEurope #TeamCulture #GlobalTeam #TravelByTrain

We love a CEO who says it like it is (or at least according to Google Translate, he says it like it is 😂). Thanks to Susanne Deimel for this #ScreeningTheExpert feature with our CEO Björn Bender, where he shares what drives him (and Rail Europe) forward, including: ➡️ Courage to take the rails ➡️ Less lip service, more action ➡️ Mobility without borders And pro tip: considering how much this man travels by train, take his word for it: the ride along Lake Geneva past Montreux is a wow-moment worth adding to your travel list. ✅✨ #Leadership #Mobility #Sustainability #RailEurope

Light, renewal, and community: that’s what Diwali is all about. Our Mumbai team lit up the day with laughter, rangoli, sweets, and pure festive spirit. Thank you to everyone who joined in the celebrations and made our office glow with joy. Moments like these remind us how much brighter work feels when we celebrate together. Happy Diwali from all of us at Rail Europe! 🪔💛  

A great collaboration with Deutsche Bahn and the German National Tourist Board put the spotlight on the most immersive and meaningful way to discover Germany: by train. The perfect send-off? Bahn Voyage! 🚆✨

Big news for seamless travel! 🌍✈️ We’re thrilled to team up with FacilitaTrip, bringing trains directly into their tailor-made travel platform. 🚄✨ Thanks to this partnership, travel professionals using Facilitatrip can now seamlessly book rail journeys, powered by Rail Europe’s RailAPI, gathering 230+ rail providers across Europe. Together, we’re making it easier (and greener 🌱) for travellers to weave rail into their dream itineraries, combining flexibility, innovation, and sustainable travel.

✨ Not just Paris. Not just the icons. ✨ Together with Atout France USA, we set out to show the France that lingers. Where journeys slow, moments stretch, and every stop feels richer when savoured.   Slow down, savour more, travel deeper. That’s France at its best.

👉 Progress is rarely a straight line. The pause of the Paris–Berlin night train is a loss for Europe’s rail community. Night trains are more than transport: they carry history, atmosphere, and a way of travelling that feels both timeless and human. 🌙🚆 https://lnkd.in/eZwqGpVs   But there are victories too, and they matter. Air France will soon remove its two daily Paris–Stuttgart flights. This didn’t just happen, it was earned. Rail showed it could deliver the faster, simpler, city-centre to city-centre journey, strong enough to replace planes entirely. That is more than a change of schedule, it is a shift in mindset. 🚄✨ https://lnkd.in/eEHGJVYz   Setbacks and breakthroughs will both shape the future, but one thing is constant: the train experience is worth defending. It lets travellers see Europe as it really is, with landscapes unfolding outside the window, a greener choice for the planet, and the ease of stepping off right where city life begins. That is why rail continues to grow as Europe’s natural way to travel. 🌍   (And if the The New York Times is looking to do a piece on the next big European rail win, we have a few ideas 🚆😉)

Unlocking the strategic value of customer support 💥 Last week in Vienna, Rail Europe’s Valentina Cesani (COO) and Emilie Parfondry (Head of Customer Success) showed exactly that with not one but two keynote presentations! Together, they shared how Rail Europe is redefining customer support turning it from a cost centre into a true strategic growth engine and more 🚆 With sharp insights, dynamic energy, and real-world stories, their session highlighted how customer care can drive both performance and loyalty. Big thanks to Allan Lloyds for creating such an inspiring space for innovation and exchange. 👏
