2484stir wrote = Already no1 for traffic = not true,,, you are mixing up, they are the only online rail ticket seller on the stock market,, there are 40 major others,,, myself own one of them www.interrailticket.com and we have 3500 train ticket websites selling train tickets across the world ie trainticket.ca trainticket.us .fr es etc
I am telling you they are not no1 for traffic,,far from it
2484stir wrote = prosper whatever direction the UK rail industry takes= the commission is 3% on UK sales and the money is bonded,, meaning they only get there money after the journey,,,it cannot be increased like a hotel where the commission is 10% and the companies like on the beach themn mark up an extra 30%
uk sales at 3% are crap,, as most online traders are charged 1.25 commission for the money payment fee,, if they are lucky they can go abroad and get 0.64 or 0.74,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now factor in newspapers are trying to get train companies to give part refunds on late trains,,, so a website is charged 1.2 to get the money then 1.2 to send part back,, the commission is still 3%,,,,,
answer is there is very little in uk train tickets,,and it is quick to make a loss,,,like leafs on the line or a strike
do I have shares here= yes of course I do,,, I need there paper work to forecast were they will be in a few years time,, and the answer is in the length of the front page of my website,,,we all await G5 with super fast broadband
now the bad news EUROSTAR pays no commission at all,,, and takes you court if you try to,, so all the sunday papers were you see trip including travel on eurostar,,,,there is no commission earn't,,,, we put them at the base of our website in disgust
about usa train travel= go on facebook find an anerican in the usa,,,ask do they use it,,,,it is alot less than you think,,it is not a magic wand,,,but the commission is better the uk
