Train Travel Payment Practices Show Modest Improvement: Up 4.8 Points in 2025

The Comparison

• 2024: A benchmark of nine train travel companies revealed an average payment practices score of 62.5 out of 100.
• 2025: The same nine companies achieved an average score of 67.3 out of 100, based on collected payment performance data.
