National Rail Enquiries

The brief:

To transform one of the UK’s busiest travel websites into a world-class travel services website.

The work:

Nationalrail.co.uk is the UK’s fourth busiest travel website, with 7 million users a month. To understand travellers’ experiences we interviewed passengers on platforms, talked to call centre staff and undertook extensive user testing. We used what we learned to make improvements that have resulted in increased use of key areas of the site. Fortune Cookie’s involvement in the development of the National Rail Enquiries website is long-term, and involves collaboration with a number of technical partners, including Thales and Detica.

The results:

300% increase in online registrations and a 60% increase in ‘Cheapest Fare Finder’ enquiries.

“The functions of the site are clear, navigation has been much simplified, and the overall look and feel is a big improvement”
