LONDON, 2 September 2021: Trainline Partner Solutions (TPS), Trainline’s B2B arm and a leading distributor of global rail content, today announces Liz Emmott has been appointed as Director of Global Distribution and Business Solutions. In this newly created role, Emmott will be responsible for leading the growth of Distribution and Business Solutions.
Distribution Solutions is a leading distributor of global rail content, providing easy access to routes, fares and journey times from carriers in multiple markets via one simple standardised API connection. Business Solutions gives employees at businesses of all sizes, in the UK and Europe, an easy way to book rail for business travel in and across 45 countries.

I’m thrilled to have Liz joining our team as we provide our business travel partners with even more ways to get rail at the heart of more journeys, in turn driving modal shift away from air and car travel.
