Capitaine Train dreams of competing with Voyages-SNCF.com

The world of online agencies has a new player in the shape of Capitaine Train. Specialising, as its name suggests, in the sale of train tickets, this young start-up, which has already sold over 100,000 tickets, has no intention of spreading its wings by offering anything other than rail services.

The ergonomics of the Capitaine Train website make it easy to use and comfortable to book. Among other features, users create their profile once and Capitaine Train automatically records their favourite stations and routes to make booking easier. Although there are no specific plans for businesses, some small businesses are already using Capitaine Train. In terms of products, companies will find all the SNCF products on the site (including IDTGV), as well as Eurostar, Lyria, Thalys and Deutsche Bahn (DB). The site also aims to be highly competitive on cross-border journeys such as Paris-Munich or Paris-Frankfurt, offering the best fares from either SNCF or DB.
