A Midlands based organisation has revealed significant cost savings and carbon reductions after switching its business train travel to Just Business – London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway free online rail booking and management platform designed specifically for companies looking to streamline their train travel without the hidden charges.
For many growing organisations, travel is essential – whether for client meetings, training, or events. But traditional travel management platforms often come with costly booking fees, credit card charges, and complex admin processes. Meanwhile, car travel, once a default option, is increasingly incompatible with sustainability goals and employee expectations.
Just Business offers a smarter alternative. By providing access to the lowest end-to-end rail fares across all operators – with no fees, no contracts, and no minimum term – the platform enables businesses to reduce both costs and carbon emissions while simplifying the entire travel process.
One Midlands customer recently analysed a full year of travel data and reported impressive results. Over 12 months, the company made 772 train journeys. Had these trips been made by car, they would have generated 25.6 tonnes of CO₂ – the equivalent of six return flights from London to Australia. By choosing rail travel booked through Just Business, emissions were reduced to just 5.4 tonnes, almost five times less than road travel.
The financial benefits were equally compelling. By avoiding the booking fees charged by other travel management platforms, the company saved £1,000 over the year.
Beyond cost and carbon savings, Just Business offers a suite of features designed to make business travel easier:
- Direct-to-business charging, eliminating the need for receipts and expense claims
- E-tickets sent straight to travellers’ inboxes, removing the need to queue or print tickets
- Centralised admin reporting, giving full visibility of bookings, spend, and reporting
- Built-in sustainability reporting, enabling organisations to track and compare their travel-related carbon footprint
- Full fare transparency, with all ticket types available according to company policy
- A dedicated helpdesk, offering personalised support with same-day response times
“Our helpdesk prides itself on its super speedy turnaround time,” says the Business Fulfilment Manager for Just Business. “You won’t be waiting three or four days for a reply. Our team is here to support every aspect of your business train travel, no matter how big or small.”
Signing up is simple. Businesses complete a short set-up form with company and payment details, nominate users and admins, and receive login credentials once the account is ready. From there, employees can begin booking rail travel immediately.
Just Business continues to support organisations across the Midlands and beyond in reducing costs, cutting emissions, and making business rail travel easier than ever.
