West Midlands Trains

West Midlands Trains operate both the West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway brands, serving the local West Midlands area, as well as connecting Birmingham with London and Liverpool. Currently, there are around one million journeys made on their services every week.

West Midlands Trains have been Edgbaston’s rail partner since 2019 and was launched with the help of club legend Ian Bell. Edgbaston and WMT work in collaboration to provide matchday supporters with travel information and guidance to/from the stadium.

Earlier this month, West Midlands Trains announced the launch of a new business travel booking service, Just Business, which helps local companies to reduce their travel costs and expenses.

Just Business

Making business travel simple, Just Business is a completely free service that helps local businesses to reduce cost and save time when booking rail travel. Not only does it consolidate and streamline the booking process, but it also helps employees find the cheapest fares available for their journeys on any train route across the UK.

With the ability to charge costs to a central account, employees no longer have to fund their own train travel and they can say goodbye to paperwork and obtaining receipts for their expenses. If that’s not enough, when tickets are purchased through Just Business, it allows travellers to avoid paying for booking fees that are added to train ticket comparison websites. Providing a great incentive to employees when encouraging them to return back to the office.

What’s more, it ensures all company train travel expenses are in one handy central place for businesses, helping office and finance managers to easily manage and keep track of costs. It also provides useful and efficient general reporting tools as well as reporting on sustainability of travel.
