LONDON, October 5, 2017/PRNewswire/ - Trainline, the world's leading independent digital rail platform, today announces its enhanced international offering, as it adds eleven new websites, with nine additional languages and prices displayed in 15 new currencies.

The new websites mean Trainline now provides more languages than any other digital rail ticketing platform in Europe and mark the company's increasing focus on Northern, Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and The Americas. New languages include Czech, Polish, Portuguese (European and Brazilian) and Mandarin Chinese. This brings the total languages now available on the platform to 14, all of which will be accessible on Trainline's desktop and mobile websites, as well as its iOS and Android apps.
