Rail Europe expands its offering by integrating the Leo Express company.
Founded in 2010, it relies on a Central European network that spans four countries (the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Germany).
It now enables Rail Europe users to plan cross-border itineraries in just a few clicks. Major tourist destinations such as Prague, Krakow, Warsaw, Ostrava, and Olomouc become directly interconnected and accessible on a single interface.
For Björn Bender, CEO of Rail Europe, this alliance is a direct response to the historical complexities of European rail. “ European rail transport remains too fragmented and too complex to use beyond borders. Our mission at Rail Europe is to make it simpler,” he says. The executive also highlights the crucial opportunity represented by this timetable, as demand for summer travel is accelerating.
