Platform One covers more than 270 rail and coach companies across 45 countries, including over 80% of rail routes in Europe. There are around 78 million visits to Platform One every month across all channels, and 296 searches on the platform every second. Trainline employs around 400 engineers, data and tech specialists who work on Platform One and process over 600 system releases every week.
