Europe Rail in GDS talks
Distribution systems Amadeus and Galileo are in talks with the world’s largest rail ticket wholesaler to create pointto- point rail reservations. Rail Europe currently distributes its tickets via general sales agents (Rail Plus, Stella Rail Tickets, CIT and Infinity Rail) but it is in talks to get its segments available via reservation systems. Eurostar will become the first rail segment with its own global distribution system (GDS) code later this year, enabling it to compete directly with airlines.
