TrainPriceTracker
The opportunity
European rail competes with short-haul aviation not only on convenience, but on perceived price. Opaque and fast-changing fares make it difficult for travellers to recognise good value, reinforcing the assumption that flying is the cheaper option.
The venture
TrainPriceTracker was founded to make rail pricing more transparent and strengthen the case for choosing the train. The platform tracks Eurostar fares over time, classifies prices against historical patterns, surfaces seat availability and flexible-date options, and alerts travellers when a journey reaches their target price.
