ticketclever to provide savings of up to 60 per cent on rail journeys thanks to ground-breaking algorithm
ticketclever has, for the first time, cracked the complexity of train travel to give passengers access to hidden cheap fares. Its ground-breaking clever algorithm crunches hundreds of millions of fare and route combinations to unlock savings of up to 60 per cent. Top savings are found on the day-of-travel for journeys of an hour or longer. Showing more cheap fares than other rail ticketing websites, customers can make comparisons and choose the best fare for their needs. For those who can plan ahead ticketclever also sells discounted Advance Purchase fares. Where possible ticketclever offers multi-ticket deals at a lower cost than-on-the-day fares, when Advance Purchase fares are sold-out or unavailable. ticketclever is an independent train booking site and doesn’t charge any booking or payment card fees.

“It is our mission to put rail travellers first, by making it easy to find and book cheap train fares using our clever algorithm,” explained Jeremy Acklam, CEO, ticketclever.
“In an era where the price of train travel is under scrutiny, it’s frustrating that getting the best deal on UK train journeys isn’t straightforward. With so many fare combinations for each journey, it’s very difficult for passengers to be certain they have a good deal. At ticketclever we want to make rail travel simpler by transforming the process of finding and buying tickets, so it is more transparent,” continued Acklam.
ticketclever’s smart technology uniquely calculates hundreds of millions of different fare combinations and identifies where the biggest savings can be made. It presents options for each journey so customers can see where a saving can be made whether travelling later, earlier or on a slightly different route. If a customer’s journey spans peak and off-peak times, ticketclever will automatically work out if multiple tickets would be cheaper and offer that option.
